2019 Map of New Amsterdam

About this map

The Ohio River serves as the primary geographic dividing line in this area, separating Harrison County from Meade County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and hollows, such as Turkey Heaven Ridge and Gas Well Hollow, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Whippoorwill Rd and Rhodelia Rd. Small communities such as New Amsterdam and Battletown sit near the river's edge, while inland settlements like Cedar Flats and Beechland occupy the higher ground near The Knob. For those researching local history, several family and community burial sites are documented, including Crown Hill Cem, Chism Cem, and Bell Knob Cem near Ball Knob. The map also illustrates the drainage network feeding into the Ohio, including Wolf Creek and Indian Creek.
