About this map

The Ohio River forms a dominant eastern boundary in this riverfront area of Perry County, where the settlement of Derby sits along the banks across from Chenaultt in Kentucky. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Hoosier National Forest, which covers much of the interior hills and ridges such as Mogan Ridge and Kuntz Ridge. This 1993 revision, based on earlier surveys and field checks, shows a rural community structure centered around small nodes like Leopold, which is anchored by St Augustine Ch.

Transportation and utility infrastructure are visible through the local road network and a major Pipeline corridor crossing the terrain. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies numerous family and community burial grounds including Badger Cem, Gilliard Cem, and both the Upper Cummings Cem and Lower Cummings Cem. Educational landmarks like the Perry Central High School and the Elder Sch further document the social landscape of the late twentieth century.
