About this map

The Ohio River divides the landscape of this 2013 survey, separating the burgeoning residential corridors of southwest Jefferson County from the more rural, ridge-bound terrain of Harrison and Floyd counties. On the eastern shore, the transition from industrial and utility sites near Kosmosdale to established neighborhoods like Meadow Lawn and Orell highlights the modern suburban density of the region. This side of the river is marked by extensive drainage networks, where Pond Cr and Mill Cr snake through the lowlands.

West of the river, the topography shifts toward the steep elevations of Lamb Ridge and Hogback Ridge. Family history and local heritage are preserved in numerous burial sites, including McNutt Cem and Colvin Cem. Transportation history is evident at Evans Landing and the Weavers Run Airport, while the unique place name Rabbit Hash Ridge underscores the specific local character of the Ohio River valley south of Louisville.
