Henderson occupies a prominent position on the south bank of the Ohio River, where the river's bend defines the northern edge of the city. The landscape transitions from the urban core and riverfront to a network of outlying communities like Anthoston and Rankin. The area is notably dense with burial grounds, including the historic Saint Louis Cemetery, Fernwood Cemetery, and the expansive Roselawn Memorial Gardens. The drainage pattern is heavily influenced by the winding Canoe Creek and its various tributaries, such as North Fork Canoe Creek and East Fork Canoe Creek, which carve through the terrain south of the city. Modern infrastructure, including the Audubon Pkwy and Breathitt Pkwy, highlights the region's role as a regional transportation hub, while local landmarks like Graham Hill and the Flying H Farms Airport ground the survey in its contemporary rural and suburban context.
