1950 Map of Mauckport

About this map

The Ohio River forms a sweeping boundary through this mid-century survey, dividing Harrison County and Meade County at a point of significant riverboat history. Mauckport sits prominently on the Indiana bank, serving as a gateway to the steep, dissected uplands of Heth and Washington townships. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with family-named landmarks like Hayes Hill and Shireman Hill rising above the deep drainage of Buck Creek. To the west, the Harrison-Crawford State Forest covers the ridges above Blue Spring Hollow.
