About this map

The Ohio River frontage defines this 2011 survey, where the river serves as a primary geographic anchor for both industrial and historic sites. Several river landings, including Sellers Landing and Gentry Landing, underscore the waterway's role in local commerce. The landscape is dotted with small, historically rooted settlements such as Dekoven, Caseyville, and Henshaw, many of which are surrounded by family and community burial grounds like Odd Fellows Cemetery and Hobbs Cemetery.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain rises into named heights and hollows, from the Chapel Hills in the north to the distinctive formation of Anvil Rock. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Tradewater River and its floodplain, creating a network of drainage that includes Cypress Creek and Caney Branch. This era shows a mix of rural infrastructure and established residential pockets like Grangertown and Finneyville, reflecting a landscape deeply connected to its riverine and agricultural roots.
