About this map

Lanesville serves as the primary focal point of this Harrison County survey, situated just north of the dramatic ridgelines that descend toward the river. The landscape is defined by its deep community roots, evidenced by numerous burial grounds and rural hubs like Hopewell Cem, Antioch Ch Cem, and Lottick Corner. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into Sampson Ridge and Rock House Ridge, creating a series of hollows and points that overlook the Ohio River.

The riverfront itself shows a distinct shift from the blufftop agriculture of Franklin and Posey townships to the industrial and residential development along the Kentucky shore. Features such as the Powerplant and the neighborhood of Riverside Gardens stand in contrast to the rural Indiana side. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named sites, including the Kingery Cem and Shoemaker Cem, alongside vital social centers like the St Johns Sch.
