About this map

The borderlands of Daviess and Ohio Counties are defined by a complex network of creeks and small farming communities such as Pleasant Ridge and Bells Run. The landscape is carved by water, with Barnett Cr, Greasy Run, and Clear Run winding through the local topography. This agricultural and rural residential area is anchored by long-standing landmarks like the Beulah Church and several family burial grounds, including the Dodson Cem and Shown Cem.

In the southern reaches, the Rough River and Crooked Pond mark a shift in the terrain as the elevation rises toward Whoopee Hill and Hoover Hill. Local transportation is facilitated by named rural routes such as Harmon's Ferry Rd and Old Mill Cemetery Rd, reflecting a history of river access and local industry. The small settlements of Buford, Taffy, and Beda serve as geographic markers for a region maintained through generations of family landholdings.
