1966 Map of Laconia

About this map

Laconia serves as the focal point of this Harrison County landscape, situated amidst a network of rural townships including Webster, Posey, and Boone. The mid-1960s terrain is marked by a deep commitment to community and ancestry, evidenced by numerous local landmarks like St Michaels Church, Rehoboth Church, and the South Central School. To the south, the Ohio River forms a definitive border with Kentucky, where the river economy is represented by Tobacco Landing and a nearby Landing Strip. The physical geography is defined by significant karst and drainage features, from the subterranean Big Spring Cave to the prominent Hogback Ridge. Smaller hamlets like Dogwood and Mays are connected by winding roads that pass by several historic burial grounds, including Old Goshen Cemetery and Dunkard Cemetery, offering a detailed view of the region's social geography before late-century modernization.
