About this map

Yankeetown and the surrounding riverfront of Warrick County anchor this modern survey along the banks of the Ohio River. The landscape is defined by its proximity to the water, featuring a dense network of managed drainage like McCool Ditch and Kaiser Ditch alongside natural waterways such as Little Pigeon Creek. These features underscore the agricultural and hydrological management necessary in the lowlands near Scuffletown and Vanada.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including the Bullock Cem, Bates Hill Cem, and the uniquely named Folden-Stanley Cem near the riverbank. The settlement pattern includes smaller nodes like Dayville and Red Bush, while larger residential developments such as Rustic Hills suggest the continued growth of the region. The map also records the precise intersection of county lines, where Warrick, Henderson, and Daviess counties meet along the shifting course of the river.
