About this map

The Ohio River curves along the southeastern edge of this terrain, where the state lines of Indiana and Kentucky meet. This landscape in Ohio County is defined by a series of prominent ridges and deeply carved hollows that dictate the local road network and historical settlement patterns. Smaller communities like Aberdeen and Cofield Corner serve as anchors along the winding upland routes.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites including the Little Field Cem, Bovard Cem, and Grant Brothers Cem. The drainage system is particularly dense, with Laughery Creek to the north and numerous tributaries like Grants Creek, Arnold Creek, and Wolfpen Cr cutting through the uplands. These waterways have historically shaped the agricultural boundaries of the region, visible here through the placement of homesteads along named features like Salem Ridge and Buckey Ridge.
