About this map

The Ohio River meanders sharply through the landscape here, defining the border between Indiana and Kentucky near the community of Leavenworth. This 2013 survey reveals a river-oriented geography where the main channel bypasses Blue River Island and Upper Blue River Island, creating prominent landforms like Big Bend and Oxbow Bend. The interior terrain is marked by numerous drainage features such as Dry Run and Potato Run, which cut through the high ground of Indian Ridge and Greenbrier Knob.

Evidence of the area's local history and transport network is visible in names like Schooler Point Landing and Paris Landing, reflecting the long-standing importance of the river for travel and trade. Small settlements such as Wyandotte near Wyandotte Lake and Cape Sandy are connected by a network of rural roads, including S Borden Cemetery Rd and Old State Hwy 62. The map also captures descriptive local landmarks such as Artist Point and Paradise Bottom, highlighting the distinct character of the hollows and bends along the river corridor.
