About this map

Depauw and Ramsey anchor this rural Harrison County landscape, where small crossroads settlements dot a terrain defined by ridges and hills. The map highlights a community-focused geography, shown through landmarks like Schoolhouse Hill and the long expanse of Pennington Chapel Ridge. The northern reaches are characterized by high ground such as Orchard Ridge and Lagle Ridge, while the southern border is shaped by the winding course of the Blue River and the sharp turn known as Devils Elbow.

Local family history and agricultural roots are evident in the naming of features like Henry Ott Hill, Marion Herthel Hill, and Byrd Ridge. These labels, alongside small hamlets like Frenchtown and Little Saint Louis, reflect the enduring settlement patterns of southern Indiana in the early 21st century. Water sources like Leichner Spring and the broad Clover Valley further illustrate the area's natural topography.
