1931 Map of Corydon

About this map

Brandenburg and the winding course of the Ohio River dominate the southern margin of this unique survey. While much of the sheet is designated as a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area, the detailed southern sliver provides a rare look at the Kentucky-Indiana borderlands before mid-century development. The river landscape is characterized by prominent elevations like Hamilton Hill and numerous drainage points including Flippins Run and Doe Run. Local history and genealogy interests are served by the inclusion of the Oak Grove Sch and the small settlement of Moravia, providing a localized view of rural life along the river during the late 1920s.
