About this map

Switzerland County agriculture and riverfront life are documented here during the early 1970s, as small upland communities remained connected by a winding network of ridge roads. The southern edge of the survey is defined by the Ohio River, featuring Vevay Island and the bustling riverfront of Vevay. Inland, the landscape transitions into a series of steep drainages like Indian Creek and Plum Creek, separated by high ground such as Pleasant Ridge and Leatherbury Ridge.

Several historic hamlets appear across the hills, including Fairview and Allensville at the northern boundary, and the small cluster at Center Square. Religious and recreational hubs like Lee Ch, White Water Camp, and Camp Livingston suggest a community well-rooted in its rural landscape. The map's detailed road labels, from Stowtown Road to Popcorn Ridge Road, provide a clear guide for those tracing family farmsteads or local transport routes in this portion of Southern Indiana.
