1947 Map of Mauckport

About this map

Mauckport sits prominently at the southernmost bend of the Ohio River in Harrison County, serving as a primary focal point for the river-oriented economy of this southern Indiana landscape. The terrain inland is defined by significant elevations and family-named landmarks like Shireman Hill and Hays Hill, which dictate the winding paths of the local road network. The map reveals a community structured around small crossroads settlements and spiritual centers, such as Glidas and Crossroads Ch, alongside rural education at Hillgrove Sch. The presence of Morvins Landing indicates the historical importance of river access points, while the intricate topography of Wolfpen Ridge and the Haunted Hollow showcases the deeply dissected landscape characteristic of the region before modern development altered rural settlement patterns.
