About this map

Georgetown and the surrounding Floyd County settlements of Greenville, Galena, and Floyds Knobs define this landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a complex network of residential growth concentrated around traditional town centers and major road corridors like Old Vincennes Rd and Paoli Pike. The local geography is marked by several significant water bodies and their associated infrastructure, including Georgetown Lake with its Georgetown Reservoir Dam, and the Mount Saint Frances Lake north of Edwardsville.

Family history and local heritage are preserved in the locations of Greenlawn Cemetery, Buttontown Cemetery, and Wolfe Cemetery. The southern portion of the area transitions into more prominent terrain features, characterized by numerous named ridges such as Pear Ridge, Pond Ridge, and Skipsey Ridge, alongside deep-cut drainages like Als Hollow and Cave Hollow. This detailed survey captures the balance between established rural communities and the modern suburban expansion near the Knobs.
