About this map

Laconia stands as the central hub of this Southern Indiana landscape, situated north of a sharp bend in the Ohio River. The map reveals a community deeply connected to its land and history, with numerous burial grounds such as Old Goshen Cemetery, Crown Hill Cemetery, and Saint Michaels Cemetery distributed across the countryside. The southern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the riverfront at Tobacco Landing, where the terrain rises steeply toward Hog Ridge and Hogback Ridge.

Industrial and utility footprints are visible through the Doe Run Gas Storage Field near Big Run, while the rural character is maintained by scattered settlements like Dogwood and Rehoboth. Significant local landmarks include the Boundary Mound and the winding course of Buck Creek. This survey captures the region's complex drainage system, including West Branch Mosquito Creek and Doe Run, illustrating how the topography transitions from the alluvial river bottoms to the higher ridges and limestone uplands of Harrison County.
