1962 Map of Corydon West

About this map

Indian Creek meanders deeply across this Harrison County landscape, defining the topography between the seat of Corydon and the wooded expanses of the Harrison-Crawford State Forest. In the early 1960s, the area's agricultural and spiritual life is well-documented through numerous rural landmarks, including Heidelberg Ch, Fairview Ch, and several family burial grounds like Trout Cem and Bliss Cem. The northern section is dominated by the Blue River valley near White Cloud, where Scout Mtn rises above the water. Transportation and industry are evidenced by the Louisville New Albany and Corydon railroad line and the Harrison County Airport. Unique geological features, such as the sharp ridge of the Devils Backbone and the massive flow of Harrison Spring, highlight the distinctive karst-influenced terrain of this part of southern Indiana.
