1947 Map of Mauckport

About this map

The Ohio River shoreline in Harrison County defines the southern edge of this landscape, where the river serves as the state boundary between Indiana and Kentucky. Rising from the floodplains, the topography is characterized by a series of prominent elevations including Wolfpen Ridge, Shireman Hill, and Sand Hill. The settlement pattern in the late 1940s is anchored by the river town of Mauckport and the downstream river access at Morvins Landing. Inland, the community is organized around rural hubs like Valley City, Central, and Glidas, connected by the route of State Road 135. Genealogy researchers will find several localized landmarks preserved on this sheet, including Wesley Chapel, Crossroads Ch, and the Hillgrove Sch, which reflect the social infrastructure of these townships before the mid-century shift toward consolidation.
