About this map

Georgetown anchors the northern reaches of this Ohio riverfront landscape, where the Brown County Fairgrounds and Georgetown Post Office mark the local seat of commerce. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Free Soil Ridge and Shinkles Ridge, which rise above the many creek branches flowing toward the Ohio River. Along the southern boundary, the riverfront settlements of Higginsport, South Higginsport, and Levanna follow the shoreline, while the crossing at Dover connects the Ohio and Kentucky sides.

Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds scattered across the rural township, from the Eden Cemetery in the north to the Hill Family Cemetery and Pisgah Ridge Cemetery further south. The map also identifies the Yellow Springs Post Office and various family-named landmarks like Stoney Point and Kinney Hollow, providing a clear record of the local community and land use at the start of the decade.
