About this map

The Ohio River dominates this landscape as it carves massive loops through the terrain at Oxbow Bend and Big Bend. Along the Indiana shore, the town of Leavenworth serves as a primary settlement, situated near the confluence where the Blue River meets the Ohio. This area is heavily defined by the Harrison-Crawford State Forest, which blankets the high ridges and deep hollows like Friday Hollow and Cedar Branch Hollow.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites including the Old Leavenworth Cem and Leavenworth Memorial Garden, alongside rural sites like Everton Cem and Potato Run Cem. The river economy of the era is evident at Schooner Point Landing and the Tipple near Cape Sandy, while landmarks such as Artist Point and the Lookout Tower reflect the region's recreational value within the state forest system.
