About this map

The Ohio River serves as the dividing line between Harrison and Floyd Counties in Indiana and Jefferson County, Kentucky, in this 2016 survey. On the Indiana side, the landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, including Riley Ridge, Schoolhouse Ridge, and the prominent Backbone Ridge. Traditional small-town centers like Lanesville and Bridgeport contrast with the more suburbanized development of Greenwood and Riverside Gardens across the water.

Genealogical interest is particularly high on this sheet, which preserves the locations of numerous family and church burial grounds such as Heistand Cem, Shoemaker Cem, and Kingery Cem. Smaller communities like Lottick Corner and landmarks like Union Church and Robinson Airpark provide important reference points for understanding the local geography. The topography is intricately detailed, showing landforms like Hellmans Point and Pigeon Roost that have long defined the character of this river valley.
