2013 Map of Lewisport

About this map

Lewisport, Kentucky, and Grandview, Indiana, face each other across a wide stretch of the Ohio River in this detailed survey. The river's influence is evident in the low-lying terrain of Corn Island and the expansive Big Slough, while the Kentucky side rises toward elevations like Gentry Hill and Shaw Bluff. The settlement pattern follows the riverbank and inland routes, with Waitman serving as a primary point between the hills and the bottomlands. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted, including Old Sergeant Cem north of the river and Sand Hill Cem near Lewisport. The presence of Fish and Game Farm Lake and Sunnys Lake further south points to the managed water and recreational landscape of Hancock County during the early 21st century.
