About this map

Guilford sits at the confluence of the West Fork Tanners Creek and East Fork Tanners Creek, serving as a central hub for the surrounding rural ridges of Dearborn County. The landscape is defined by long, narrow ridgelines such as Mount Pleasant Ridge, Ester Ridge, and the distinctively named Devils Backbone that rise above the valley floors.

Settlement patterns in the area are anchored by historic crossroads and small communities including New Alsace, Dover, and Wrights Corner. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds preserved across the townships, such as Logan Cemetery in the north and the Pelley Cemetery near the southern boundary. The creek system is extensive, with numerous small tributaries like Slab Camp Creek and Mud Lick Creek carving through the terrain, while the Kimberly Lake Dam represents 21st-century hydrological development in the region.
