About this map

Indian Creek and Little Indian Creek wind through this part of Harrison County, shaping a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and subterranean features like Kings Cave. The town of Corydon sits at the western edge, served by the Louisville New Albany and Corydon RR, which connects the community to broader regional trade. Further east, the small settlement of New Middletown anchors a more rural expanse dotted with family landmarks and local institutions, including the Harrison Grange and the Corydon Country Club.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community centers such as St Peters Ch and Salem Ch, alongside several cemeteries like Cedar Hill Cem and Shuck Cem. The terrain south of Breckenridge transitions into the drainage basin of Buck Creek and its Middle Fork, illustrating the traditional reliance on these water systems before modern infrastructure fully bypassed the smaller hollows of Harrison and Franklin townships.
