1962 Map of Corydon West

About this map

The meandering course of Indian Creek and the Blue River dominate this portion of Harrison County, where the historic settlement of Corydon serves as the focal point. To the west, the deeply dissected topography of the Harrison-Crawford State Forest rises sharply, featuring prominent landmarks like Scout Mtn and the narrow ridge known as the Devils Backbone. The cultural landscape is marked by a network of rural congregations and family burial sites, including Shiloh Ch, Perseverance Chapel, and Bliss Cem. Transportation and commerce are represented by the New Albany & Corydon RR and the County Fairgrounds, while smaller locales like White Cloud and Dixie anchor the outlying areas. Unique mid-century infrastructure is visible near the county seat, including a Drive-in Theater and a local Landing Strip.
