About this map

Louisville New Albany and Corydon RR tracks follow the winding course of Indian Creek and Little Indian Creek through this southern Indiana landscape. The terrain is defined by its karst topography, notable for Pfrimmer Cave and King Cave tucked into the hillsides. As of the mid-1960s, the area reflects a mix of traditional agriculture and emerging suburban pockets like Hillcrest. Local civic life centers on the Harrison Grange and the Corydon Country Club on the outskirts of the county seat.

Deeply rooted family history is visible in the placement of Cedar Hill Cem and smaller rural cemeteries scattered near Sharon Ch and St Peters Ch. The settlement at New Middletown serves as a southern anchor, while the northern sections are largely dominated by the drainage of Brush Heap Creek. This survey captures the transition from a purely agrarian economy to one connected by highways like Route 62, while still preserving the specific field and fence lines of individual farmsteads.
