2013 Map of Georgetown

About this map

Georgetown and the surrounding Floyd County highlands are defined by a series of prominent ridges and drainage basins that have shaped local settlement for generations. The terrain is marked by distinct landforms such as Pear Ridge and Skipsey Ridge, alongside deep-set valleys like Cave Hollow and Als Hollow. Water resources are central to the geography here, with Georgetown Lake and Brazils Lake providing managed water storage amidst a network of natural streams including Indian Cr, Little Indian Cr, and Yellow Fork. The layout of the small towns—Edwardsville, Galena, and Greenville—reveals how transportation routes like Old Vincennes Rd and Corydon Ridge Rd follow the natural contours of the land, connecting these dispersed communities across the upland plateaus and hollows.
