About this map

Yankeetown and the surrounding riverfront of Warrick County define this segment of the Ohio River during a period of transition in the mid-20th century. While the river remains a dominant geographic force, the landscape shows significant industrial modification, notably several Strip Mine operations scattered across the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. These large-scale extractions sit alongside traditional rural landmarks like St Ruperts Ch and Union Ch.

The infrastructure of the era is evident in the network of agricultural ditches such as Mitchem Ditch and Mc Cool Ditch, alongside the remnants of an Old Railroad line passing near Little Pigeon Creek. Small settlements like Dayville, Vanada, and Scuffletown mark the human geography, while the Yankeetown Sch and local burial grounds like Bates Hill Cem serve as vital anchor points for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of this riverine community.
