About this map

Corydon serves as the focal point for this Harrison County landscape in the years following World War II, situated where Little Indian Creek meets the larger Indian Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense network of country schools and churches that anchored rural Indiana life during this era, including the Getz School and Phrimers Ch.

Genealogists will find significant value in the family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered across the Franklin, Harrison, and Webster townships. Sites like the Warren Cem, Shuck Cem, and Musselman Cem provide precise locations for ancestral research. The map also records small commercial and social hubs such as Kings Store, Harrison Grange, and the settlement of New Middletown, reflecting the local-scale economy before modern infrastructure shifted development away from these rural crossroads.
