About this map

The Ohio River dominates this 1970s landscape, serving as the definitive border between Indiana and Kentucky. On the northern bank, Mauckport sits as a primary riverfront settlement, while Brandenburg anchors the southern shore in Kentucky. The topography is defined by the sharp transition from the river valley to the limestone bluffs and ridges typical of the region, specifically noted at Hayes Hill and Mount Tom.

Evidence of established rural community life is visible through the positioning of the Beth-Washington Ch and Mt Zion Ch, alongside the sprawling Harrison-Crawford State Forest to the west. Local researchers can trace old river access points like Morvins Landing and monitor river traffic via navigational markers such as Mile 650. The interior Indiana uplands show small crossroads like Valley City and Central, highlighting the traditional settlement patterns away from the floodplains.
