About this map

Yankeetown and the surrounding riverfront of Warrick County anchor this 2010 survey along the wide bend of the Ohio River. The landscape is a complex network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, where Cypress Creek and Little Pigeon Creek meet an extensive system of engineered channels like Taylor Ditch and Mitchem Ditch. This era shows the established rural character of the region, punctuated by small settlements and family-named landmarks.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including Hedge Cemetery in the north and the Bates Hill Cemetery near the center of the quadrangle. The river’s historical importance to local commerce is evident at Vanada Landing and the infrastructure of U S Dam Number Four. Away from the water, smaller communities such as Pelzer, Dayville, and Red Bush are connected by a grid of local roads like W Eble Rd and S Bethany Church Rd, reflecting generations of settlement between the river and the interior hills.
