About this map

New Amsterdam sits along the Ohio River in this survey of the river border between Indiana and Kentucky. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Wolf Creek and Dry Fork, which carve through the high ground of Turkey Heaven Ridge and Chism Ridge. The area is dotted with small, dispersed settlements such as Battletown, Oolite, and Cedar Flat, connected by a network of winding roads like Knob Rd and Pine Ridge Rd.

Genealogists will find several burial sites including Crown Hill Cemetery, Bennett Cemetery, and Bell Knob Cemetery, which often mark the historical centers of these rural communities. The map captures the physical reality of the region before modern expansion, highlighting natural features like Mint Springs and the secluded Blue Spring Hollow, alongside the agricultural and residential patterns that have shaped this portion of Harrison County for generations.
