2016 Map of Laconia

About this map

Laconia sits at the heart of this Southern Indiana landscape, where the karst topography of the Mitchell Plain gives way to the winding course of the Ohio River. This 2016 survey highlights a deeply established rural network defined by its family burial grounds and scattered hamlets. To the north, the settlement of Dogwood is surrounded by several historical sites, including the Saint Michaels Cem and Crown Hill Cem. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Boundary Mound and the steep Hogback Ridge near the riverbanks. Hydrological patterns are dominated by the branching systems of Buck Creek and Mosquito Creek, which have carved the hills of Harrison County over generations. Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries such as Dunkard Cem, Old Goshen Cem, and King Cem, which serve as physical markers of the area's pioneer and agrarian heritage along the Kentucky border.
