2016 Map of Cloverport

About this map

Cloverport sits prominently on a sharp bend of the Ohio River, serving as a focal point for this border region between Kentucky and Indiana. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of ridges and hollows, such as Mullens Ridge and Tucker Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Squirrel Tail Hollow Rd and Coal Bank Hollow Rd. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural settlement patterns of Breckinridge and Hancock Counties, where small communities like Patesville, Arrington Corner, and Dukes remain connected by historical farm-to-market roads. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks like Saint Rose Cem and Rice Cem, while the northern landscape is defined by the significant elevation of Jeffry Cliff and Shafer Hill. Waterways such as Indian Cr and Honey Locust Cr carve through the limestone-heavy geography, feeding into the river system that has historically driven the local economy.
