About this map

The Ohio River forms a dominant boundary along the southwestern edge of this Indiana-Kentucky borderlands region, framing a landscape defined by its intricate drainage and riverine islands. Named settlements such as Bufkin, Caborn, and Marrs Center serve as central points for a network of rural roads, while the presence of Hilakos Airport, Lewis Airport, and the Zeller Elev Co Airport highlights a unique density of small-scale aviation infrastructure.

South of McFadden Creek, the terrain becomes increasingly dictated by the river’s historical flood patterns. A complex system of man-made and natural waterways, including Dixon and Lewis Ditch, Crunk Ditch, and Schieber Ditch, manages the low-lying areas around Goose Pond. Significant islands like Mount Vernon Towhead Island and Diamond Island sit within the river, marking the transition between the agricultural uplands and the swampy reaches of Cypress Slough.
