2010 Map of Lawrenceburg

About this map

The Ohio River and Great Miami River converge in this river-bottom landscape, where the borders of Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio meet near Lawrenceburg. The topography is defined by the sharp contrast between the industrial and residential corridors of Greendale and Oldtown and the agricultural plateaus of Boone County. In Kentucky, a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Dinsmore Cemetery, Tousey Cemetery, and Walton Cemetery, provides a wealth of data for genealogical research. The map documents the persistent rural character of settlements like Idlewild and Petersburg, which are linked by winding roads like Ashbys Fork and Woolper Rd. Inland, the terrain is deeply incised by Woolper Creek and Double Lick Creek, creating a network of ridges and hollows such as Dark Hollow that have historically shaped the region's transport and land use patterns.
