About this map

The Ohio River dominates this 2010 survey, serving as the natural boundary between Indiana and Kentucky. On the northern bank, the residential expansion of Evansville meets the established riverfront community of Newburgh, where the landscape is a mix of suburban street grids and remaining agricultural drainage systems like the South Willow Pond Ditch and Kolb Ditch. The map reveals a high density of local heritage sites, particularly family and community burial grounds such as Rose Hill Cemetery, Hedge Cemetery, and James Cemetery, which are interspersed among modern developments.

South of the river, the Kentucky side offers a stark contrast with its winding waterways and floodplain features. The Green River meanders toward its confluence with the Ohio, creating a complex network of backwaters including Cypress Slough, Negro Creek, and Opossum Creek. This area remains largely undeveloped compared to the Indiana side, defined by rural roads like Mound Ridge Rd and the quiet settlement of Baskett Cemetery.
