About this map

Leavenworth and its position along the Ohio River dominate this mid-century survey of the Indiana-Kentucky border. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Blue River as it meets the Ohio, carving through high points like Greenbrier Knob and Scott Hill. This 1940s mapping provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure of Crawford County and Harrison County, noting essential community centers such as Sunshine Sch and the Potato Run Ch.

A notable highlight is the location of Wyandotte Cave, situated near the small settlement of Wyandotte. Across the water in Kentucky, the terrain of Meade County is recorded, including landmarks like Schooner Point Landing and the Pleasant Ridge Ch near Cape Sandy. The map also identifies numerous minor drainages like Texas Creek and Sharpe Creek, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns feeding into the major river systems.
