About this map

Indian Creek and its winding tributaries, including Little Indian Creek and Brush Heap Creek, carve through the rolling landscape of southern Indiana in this mid-1960s survey. The area is anchored by the historic settlement of Corydon, where municipal infrastructure like the Filtration Plant and landmarks such as the Cedar Hill Cem and Harrison Grange are clearly mapped. South of town, the Corydon Country Club and the residential pocket of Hillcrest illustrate the mid-century expansion of the community.

Rural life across Harrison, Franklin, and Posey townships is marked by numerous country churches and family burial grounds, such as St Peters Ch and the Musselman Cem. In the southeast, the course of the Middle Fork Buck Creek flows past New Middletown, while the unconventional Hog Lane provides a named reference for local historians. This edition is particularly useful for genealogists, as it includes unchecked fence and field lines from 1966 aerial photography, offering a detailed view of property divisions before modern development.
