2022 Map of Aurora
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Aurora and Lawrenceburg dominate the eastern riverfront of this Dearborn County survey, where the Ohio River forms a critical border between Indiana and Kentucky. The landscape transitions from the developed river terraces of Buffalo and Texas into a high, dissected plateau marked by prominent ridges. Notable high ground includes Ebenezer Ridge, Short Ridge, and Mt Sinai Ridge, which separate the drainage basins of North Hogan Creek, South Hogan Creek, and Laughery Creek. Small, established communities like Wilmington and Mount Sinai are situated along these upland corridors, while the river's edge is defined by industrial and residential pockets like Cochran and Utah. Genealogists may find value in the locations of the Mount Tabor Church Cem and River View Cem, providing clear spatial context for local family history research in this river-valley setting.
