About this map

Depauw and Ramsey serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Harrison County, situated along a landscape defined by prominent ridges and deep hollows. The northern portion of the map is dominated by Eagle Ridge and Orchard Ridge, while the southern reaches descend toward the Blue River and the sharp bend known as Devils Elbow. These terrain features shaped the early settlement patterns of rural communities like Frenchtown and Little Saint Louis.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites including Saint Bernard Catholic Cem, Fairdale Cem, and Mount Zion Cem. The map also preserves the memory of historical family sites such as Marion Herthel Hill and Henry Ott Hill. Transport history is represented by the Buffalo Trace Rd NW, a road that follows an ancient travel corridor through Clover Valley and across Pennington Chapel Ridge.
