About this map

The Ohio River forms a grand arc along the northern edge of this landscape, separating the Indiana and Kentucky borderlands near Henderson. This riverfront city serves as the primary hub, with its urban grid transitioning into suburban developments and rural acreage to the south and east. Historic burial grounds are prominent across the quadrangle, ranging from the central Fernwood Cem and Saint Louis Cem near the city core to the more outlying Mount Pisgah Cem on Graham Hill.

Drainage systems define the low-lying areas south of the city, where Canoe Cr and its various branches, including N Fork Canoe Cr and W Fork Canoe Cr, wind through the terrain. These natural waterways are supplemented by an extensive network of man-made channels such as Tiger Ditch, Sellers Ditch, and Elam Ditch, indicating a landscape heavily managed for agricultural or industrial use. To the south, smaller communities like Rankin and Anthoston anchor the rural road network, while Henderson Island sits as a significant feature within the river's flow.
