2022 Map of Derby

About this map

Leopold and Derby anchor this detailed study of the riverine and forest landscape along the Ohio River border between Indiana and Kentucky. The terrain is defined by the heavy timber of the Hoosier National Forest, where a network of ridgeline trails like Mogan Ridge West Trail 1 and Kuntz Ridge navigate the steep drainages of Oil Creek and Clover Lick Creek. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including the Saint Augustine Cem in Leopold, the Harding Cem, and the pair of Upper Cummings and Lower Cummings cemeteries near the river. The map also captures small settlements like Chenaultt and Gerald, alongside numerous family-named landmarks such as Shircliff Hollow and Fallen Rock Hollow, reflecting the deep-rooted local history of Perry County.
