About this map

Lanesville anchors the northwestern corner of this survey, a landscape defined by the winding course of the Ohio River and its varied riverbank points. The terrain transitions from the high ridges of Hickman Hill and Riley Ridge in the north down to the riparian settlements of Bridgeport, Locust Point, and Riverside Gardens along the Indiana bank. This document captures a complex network of family history and community roots, evidenced by numerous small burial sites including Heistand Cem, Tabler Cem, and the Shoemaker-Tuell Cem.

Navigation and transport are central themes, from the recreational Robinson Airpark near Seven Springs to the industrial activity visible across the river in Greenwood and Sylvania. The interplay of local geography is further marked by the many named hollows and ridges, such as Eiseman Hollow and Backbone Ridge, which dictate the placement of roads like Doolittle Hill Rd SE and Crandall-Lanesville Rd NE.
