2023 Map of Higginsport

About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley along the border of Ohio and Kentucky, anchoring a landscape where river commerce and upland farming meet. The settlement of Higginsport occupies the northern bank, directly across from South Higginsport, while downstream the town of Augusta and the landing at Levanna mark the historic importance of the waterway. Inland, the terrain rises into prominent features like Cahall Ridge and Lyon Ridge, dissected by numerous drainages such as White Oak Creek and Straight Creek. The county seat of Georgetown sits at the northern edge of the map, centered on the Brown County Courthouse. For genealogists, the map is densely populated with rural burial grounds including Eden Cem, Sallee Cem, and the Hill Family Cem. This modern survey provides a clear view of how ancestral family lands and ridges continue to define the local geography today.
