About this map

Indian Creek and the Blue River carve through the landscape west of Corydon, defining the topography of Harrison County in the early 21st century. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grid of the county seat to the winding rural roads and family settlements of the surrounding countryside. Prominent elevations such as Pilot Knob, Mathes Hill, and Binkley Hill rise above the drainage basins, while the distinctive narrow ridge of the Devils Backbone follows the bends of the creek.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including Conrad Cemetery, Trout Cemetery, and Bliss Cemetery. Small rural hubs like Dixie and White Cloud serve as anchors for the network of backroads, such as Harrison Springs Rd NW and Steam Engine Rd SW, which illustrate the persistent rural character of the area despite its proximity to the growing community at Hillcrest.
