About this map

Lawrenceburg and the surrounding tri-state river valley where Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio converge are captured in this modern survey. The Ohio River remains the central artery of the region, flanked by settlements like Oldtown and Petersburg. The landscape is characterized by its complex topography, where the high ground of Ludlow Hill and Coll Hill overlooks the winding paths of Woolper Creek and Tanners Creek. Historical burial grounds are scattered across the terrain, including the Dinsmore Cem and Tousey Cem, providing valuable touchstones for genealogical research in Boone and Dearborn counties.

Transportation infrastructure defines much of the map's character, from the riverside Lawrenceburg Ferry Rd to the more modern developments at Sunrise Acres Airport. The confluence of the Great Miami River with the Ohio marks a significant geographic junction near Hardinsburg, while the Old Channel Lake indicates the shifting nature of the local waterways over time. This detail illustrates the transition from a traditional river-and-rail economy to a contemporary landscape where older townships like Greendale and Idlewild coexist with modern residential and transport networks.
