1966 Map of Georgetown

About this map

Georgetown and Greenville serve as the primary hubs in this portion of Floyd County, where the southern Indiana landscape is defined by the winding course of Middle Fork Indian Creek and Little Indian Creek. The topography is marked by a series of prominent ridges to the south, including Pear Ridge and Skipsey Ridge, which create deep hollows like Bell Hollow. The influence of the Southern railroad is evident as it cuts through the center of the sheet, passing by a Drive-in Theater near Georgetown and heading toward Edwardsville. Local heritage is anchored by longstanding institutions such as the Mt St Francis Seminary, the Greenville Christian Ch, and the Galena Sch. This 1966 survey, later updated in 1980, captures the transition of a rural landscape as modern transportation corridors began to parallel older routes like Old Indian Road.
