About this map

Georgetown serves as a focal point at the northern edge of this survey, where the Brown County Courthouse and the Georgetown Upground Reservoir anchor the local landscape. The terrain south of town is defined by a series of prominent ridges and hollows, including Shinkles Ridge and Cahail Ridge, which descend toward the banks of the Ohio River. This river corridor is a site of historical transit, connecting the riverside settlements of Higginsport, Levanna, and Dover.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the area, from Eden Cem near the northern boundary to Rosemont Cem and Locust Grove Cem on the Kentucky side of the river. The map also traces the winding courses of White Oak Creek and Straight Creek, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns and landforms that have influenced settlement from South Higginsport to the heights of Pisgah Ridge.
