About this map

The Ohio River serves as the primary geographic and political divide in this 2019 study, separating the riverfront communities of Mauckport and Brandenburg. This section of the river valley is defined by significant elevation changes, from the alluvial plains of Crozier Bottom to the prominent heights of Hamilton Hill and Wolfpen Ridge. The Matthew Welsh Bridge provides a vital transportation link across the water, connecting the road networks of Harrison County and Meade County.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the rural landscape, including the Old Mauckport Cem, Hyland Cem, and the Old Mount Zion Cem near Zion Ch. The inland terrain is marked by the distinctive Mitchell Plain and several deeply cut drainages such as Blue Spring Hollow and Haunted Hollow. Small settlements like Valley City, Glidas, and Central are linked by a complex web of named rural routes, illustrating the modern continuity of historic settlement patterns in this river-border region.
