1950 Map of Laconia

About this map

The Ohio River forms a sweeping southern boundary for this portion of Harrison County, serving as the state line between Indiana and Kentucky. The small village of Laconia sits as a central hub, surrounded by a high density of rural burial grounds and family-named landmarks including Beswick Cem, Goshen Cem, and Payton Cem. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Big Buck Creek and Mosquito Creek, where narrow valleys and ridges like Hogback Ridge create a distinct topographic texture.
