About this map

Laconia sits as a central hub in Harrison County, Indiana, surrounded by a landscape of karst topography and winding watercourses. This modern survey illustrates a deeply rooted rural community where family and faith are marked by numerous historical burial grounds, such as Beswick Cem and Saint Michaels Catholic Cem. The terrain transitions from the relatively level Mitchell Plain in the west to the more dissected drainage basins of Mosquito Creek and Buck Creek further north.

To the south, the Ohio River forms the natural boundary between Indiana and Kentucky, with the terrain rising sharply toward Hogback Ridge. The map details a network of local roads and small settlements like Dogwood and New Boston, reflecting a persistent pattern of agricultural life and land division across the T4S to T6S townships. Researchers will find interest in the proximity of older sites like Old Goshen Cem near the historic Old Goshen Rd.
