1943 Map of Rising Sun
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Ohio River navigation and rural development in southeastern Indiana are meticulously documented in this early 1940s survey. The city of Rising Sun serves as the focal point, situated along a sharp bend in the river across from the Kentucky border. The landscape is characterized by a mix of river bottoms and elevated ridges, with Mexico Bottom illustrating the fertile floodplains that supported local agriculture. Several historical burial grounds, including Lagrange Cem, German Cem, and Cedar Hedge Cem, offer valuable data for genealogists tracing family roots in the Randolph and Ohio County areas.
