2019 Map of Aurora

About this map

Lawrenceburg and Aurora anchor this riverine corridor where the Ohio River serves as the tri-state boundary between Indiana and Kentucky. The landscape is defined by the deep valleys of North Hogan Creek, South Hogan Creek, and the winding Laughery Creek, which carves through the southern portion of the map. Smaller, historically distinct communities like Cochran, Wilmington, and Mount Sinai are situated on higher ground or along secondary waterways, while the riverside is marked by long-standing landmarks such as River View Cem and Mount Tabor Church Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges, including Possum Ridge, Mt Sinai Ridge, and Ebenezer Ridge, which separate the various creek basins. Modern trail networks like the Aurora-to-Lawrenceburg Rail-Trail and the Ohio River Trail reflect the adaptation of older transportation corridors for contemporary use, following the natural curve of the riverbank.
