About this map

Carrollton sits at the vital confluence where the Kentucky River meets the Ohio River, serving as a historic river terminal and county seat. This 2019 survey illustrates the dense settlement pattern of the town and nearby Prestonville, contrasted with the ridgeline communities of Indian Hills and English further south. The landscape is defined by its massive river bends and the steep drainages that feed them, including Locust Creek and the Little Kentucky River.

Genealogists can find significant local data through the numerous burial grounds documented, from the large Carrollton Cem to smaller family and parish sites like Old Bethel Cem and Gap Hill Cem. Transport and recreation are woven into the terrain, evidenced by Craw Daddy Landing on the Kentucky River and the network of ridges including Splinter Ridge and Thorn Ridge that separate the river valleys. The map also records the proximity of Brooksburg and Lamb across the state border in Indiana.
