About this map

The Ohio River serves as the dividing line between Harrison and Meade counties in this detailed survey of the border region. On the northern bank, the historic river town of Mauckport sits near the mouth of Buck Creek, characterized by its grid of streets and proximity to the Old Mauckport Cemetery. This area reflects the traditional river-oriented economy of the mid-20th century, where small hamlets like Valley City, Central, and Glidas dot the uplands of the Mitchell Plain.

South across the river, the landscape rises toward Hamilton Hill and the town of Brandenburg, where the Meade County Courthouse serves as a local anchor. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, from the low-lying Crozier Bottom to the heights of Wolfpen Ridge and Mt Tom. Genealogists will find numerous small burial sites, including Old Mount Zion, Hyland, and Eastlawn, which provide a record of early family settlements in the Kentucky and Indiana borderlands.
