About this map

The Ohio River serves as the dominant boundary in this 1947 survey, separating Crawford and Harrison counties in Indiana from Meade County, Kentucky. The river's winding path dictates the local topography, carving deep valleys like Indian Hollow and Cold Friday Hollow. The community of Leavenworth is positioned along the northern bank, while the smaller settlement of Cape Sandy sits within a dramatic horseshoe bend to the south.

Local landmark Wyandotte Cave is situated near the Blue River, which feeds into the Ohio. The map captures a rural landscape defined by community centers such as Blue River Chapel and Potato Run Ch, alongside small local schools like Sunshine Sch and Precinct Sch. Notable elevations include Indian Ridge and Greenbrier Knob, while river traffic is anchored by historic points like Schooner Point Landing.
