About this map

The Ohio River dominates this mid-century survey, defining the border between Indiana and Kentucky and shaping the agricultural character of the bottomlands. Scattered settlements like Scuffletown and Carlinburg sit near the river's edge, while the northern uplands are marked by small rural communities such as Dayville and Pelzer. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Cypress Creek and Little Pigeon Creek winding through the terrain toward the main river channel, alongside man-made improvements like the George Bdy Horsman Ditch. Local life is anchored by a network of country churches, including Union Ch, Friendship Ch, and Sharon Ch. Evidence of early resource extraction appears via scattered Oil Wells, particularly in the northeastern corner near Bethany Ch. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of rural burials at Vanada Cem and other family or church-affiliated sites near Bates Hill.
