2019 Map of Mattingly

About this map

Cloverport sits prominently at a bend in the Ohio River, where the state boundary separates Kentucky from Indiana at Carters Landing Bar. This 2019 survey documents a landscape of deeply dissected plateaus and hollows, characteristic of the borderlands between the two states. Moving inland from the river, the terrain rises toward Persimmon Flats and the prominent Iron Ore Hill, showing a rural layout defined by family-named cemeteries and narrow winding roads. The map reveals a dense network of local history through burial sites such as Calvary Cem, Chapin Cem, and Pate Cem. Further south, the settlement of Mattingly anchors an area of flatter terrain known as Mattingly Flats, where the headwaters of Shot Pouch Cr and Caney Fork begin their drainage. The concentration of small, family-named landmarks like Hawkins Cem and Taul Cem suggests a long-established community structure that persisted into the twenty-first century.
