About this map

Lanesville occupies the northern reaches of this landscape, situated near Little Indian Creek and the Lanesville Reservoir. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and hollows that drop toward the Ohio River, including Schoolhouse Ridge, Riley Ridge, and Huckleberry Ridge. This 2010 survey illustrates the transition from rural Indiana farmland and forested ridges into the industrial and residential corridors of Greenwood and Sylvania across the river in Kentucky.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the Indiana side, such as Shoemaker Cemetery, Kingery Cemetery, and the Union Church Cemetery. The map also documents local infrastructure like the Lanesville Skyways Airport and several small water bodies including Pine Springs Lake and Seven Springs Lake. The eastern edge is dominated by the river bend near Riverside Gardens, showing the proximity of these communities to the major waterway.
