About this map

The Ohio River carves a massive, serpentine path through Crawford County, Indiana, defining the geography of the Leavenworth region. This 2012 survey shows the river's dramatic Big Bend, where the water wraps around Blue River Island and Upper Blue River Island. The confluence with the Blue River near Wyandotte serves as a focal point for the local drainage network, which includes several named hollows like Indian Hollow and Cedar Branch Hollow.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, from the Old Leavenworth Cemetery near the town center to the remote Thacker Cemetery and Brewer Cemetery overlooking the riverbanks. The map also records early transport and overlook points such as Schooler Point Landing and Artist Point, alongside landmarks like Greenbrier Knob and the Leavenworth Memorial Garden. This record of the early 21st century documents the area's rural character and its relationship with the prominent river valley.
