2013 Map of Higginsport

About this map

Georgetown and Higginsport anchor this survey of the riverine border where Ohio meets Kentucky along the Ohio River. The landscape is defined by the winding course of White Oak Creek and its many tributaries, which have carved numerous distinct ridges such as Free Soil Ridge, Shinkles Ridge, and Lyon Ridge. In the north, the Brown County Fairgrounds sits adjacent to the Old Georgetown Cem, while the Georgetown Upground Reservoir stands as a prominent engineered feature of the modern local infrastructure. To the south, the settlement pattern clings to the riverbank at South Higginsport, Levanna, and across the water at Augusta and Dover. Significant for family historians, the map identifies numerous burial sites including Sallee Cem, Eden Cem, and the Hill Family Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted rural community structure that persists across these upland farms and valley bottoms.
