1958 Map of Derby

About this map

The Ohio River defines the southeastern edge of this late 1950s survey, marking the border between Indiana and Kentucky. The town of Derby sits near the river's edge, overlooked by Quarry Knob and a prominent Quarry. To the north and west, the landscape is heavily influenced by the Hoosier National Forest, where steep ridges like French Ridge and Mogan Ridge divide narrow valleys. This area is notably dense with family-named cemeteries and rural institutions, including St Augustinus Ch in the settlement of Leopold. Across the river in Kentucky, the community of Chenaultt is visible alongside its local Chenaultt Sch. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted rural society, with numerous small burial grounds such as Upper Cummings Cem, Lower Cummings Cem, and Gilland Cem scattered throughout the townships of Tobin, Union, and Leopold.
