1958 Map of Derby

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Ohio River forms a sweeping bend along the boundary of Perry County, Indiana, and Breckinridge County, Kentucky, in this late 1950s survey. Inland, the deeply dissected terrain of the Hoosier National Forest is defined by sharp ridges like Mogan Ridge and Kuntz Ridge, which channel numerous tributaries such as Poison Creek and Clover Lick Creek toward the river. The small settlement of Leopold sits on the upland plateau, anchored by St Augustinus Ch, while the riverfront community of Derby serves as a focal point near Quarry Knob. Numerous family-named burial grounds, including the Upper Cummings Cem and Lower Cummings Cem, are scattered across the hollows, reflecting a long-standing rural settlement pattern. Evidence of the mid-century landscape includes a Lookout Tower on the western ridges and localized educational hubs like Elder Sch and Chenaultt Sch.
