About this map

The Ohio River forms the natural boundary between Indiana and Kentucky in this survey, where the river narrows between Mile 708 and Mile 710. On the Kentucky side, the settlement of Cloverport sits at the mouth of Clover Creek, serving as a focal point for the region's river-based transport and inland development. The interior landscape is defined by the winding paths of Hites Run, Tar Fork, and Springlick Branch, creating a complex network of valleys and ridges including Ska Pouch Hill.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of rural landmarks across the quadrangle. Several religious and burial sites are documented, from Calvary Cemetery and Lamb Cemetery near the river to the more remote New Clover Creek Church and Wildwood Chapel. The presence of a Quarry and a network of pipelines indicates the industrial activity supporting the local economy during the late twentieth century.
