1982 Map of Lanesville

About this map

Lanesville serves as the primary hub of this 1982 survey, nestled north of the significant ridges that define the Harrison County landscape. The town's institutional history is evident through features like St Marys Sch and the Lanesville Cem, while the nearby Lanesville Skyways Airport highlights local transportation infrastructure. Southward, the terrain transitions into a series of prominent ridges, including Riley Ridge, Sampson Ridge, and Backbone Ridge, which separate the inland creek valleys from the Ohio River. Along the river's edge, small riverside communities like Bridgeport, Locust Point, and Greenwood occupy the narrow strip between the water and the bluffs. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered across the rural townships, such as Lottick Corner, Kingery Cem, and Shoemaker Cem, documenting the area's deep-rooted settlement patterns during the early 1980s.
