Clark County, Indiana, is situated on the banks of the Ohio River across from Louisville, KY, and is considered the gateway into Indiana.

Produced with ornately flourished insets featuring prominent civic buildings and a level of detail at the forefront of its time, this cadastral map gives genealogists and historians a rare glimpse into the development and evolution of the region.
