The Ohio River serves as the central artery and dividing line between Harrison County, Indiana, and Meade County, Kentucky. This riverine landscape is defined by the high, undulating ridges that overlook the water, including Buzzard Roost and Turkey Heaven Ridge. In the Indiana portion, the river town of New Amsterdam sits at the base of the bluffs, while across the water in Kentucky, settlements like Battletown and Oolite occupy the heights. Small family and community burial grounds, such as the Figgins Family Cem, Crown Hill Cem, and Haynes Cem, are scattered throughout the hills, providing a dense record of early settlement patterns and genealogical data. The winding course of Wolf Creek and its many forks dissect the Kentucky interior, illustrating the complex drainage systems that once dictated the placement of homesteads and early roadways like Rhodelia Rd.
