About this map

The Ohio River flows through this 1961 landscape, defining the border between Ohio's Brown Co and Kentucky's Bracken Co. Riverfront settlements like Higginsport and Augusta serve as the primary hubs, with South Higginsport situated directly across the water from its namesake. To the south, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor follows the Kentucky shoreline, connecting the village of Dover to the regional transport network.

Inland Ohio reveals a pattern of ridge-top roads and deep creek valleys, including White Oak Creek and Town Creek. Significant local landmarks include the Fairgrounds and County Hospital in Georgetown, alongside smaller rural markers such as Eden Ch and the Reed Sch. Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial grounds, from the Sallee Cem in the northwest to Rosemont Cem near the river, documenting the early families who settled these bluffs.
