About this map

Georgetown anchors this survey of southern Indiana, situated along a prominent transit corridor that connects the settlements of Edwardsville and Duncan. The landscape is defined by the transition from the relatively level agricultural lands near Greenville in the north to the deeply dissected ridge systems of the south. These landforms, including Bell Ridge, Ulmer Ridge, and Pear Ridge, dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Old Vincennes Rd.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with drainage networks such as Middle Fork Indian Cr and Little Indian Creek carving through the terrain. The presence of smaller impoundments like Brazil Lake and Georgetown Lake points to local water management and recreation within the Floyd County hills. For those researching local history, the map preserves the locations of generational landmarks including Greenlawn Cem, Buttontown Cem, and Wolfe Cem, which serve as quiet anchors for the surrounding rural communities.
