2013 Map of Newburgh

About this map

The Ohio River and the Green River converge south of Newburgh, creating a landscape of complex waterways and floodplains. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense residential development north of the river, where neighborhoods like Hillcrest Terrace and Smythe have expanded alongside historical landmarks such as Camp Brosend. To the south, the terrain shifts dramatically into the wetlands of Kentucky, dominated by the Cypress Slough, Deadman Drain, and the elevated Mound Ridge. The intricate system of drainage, including the Lockwood Ditch and South Willow Pond Ditch, underscores the engineering required to manage the low-lying areas surrounding Threemile Island. Researchers will find a mix of modern suburban sprawl and older rural markers like the Baskett Cemetery, providing a detailed look at the interface between Indiana’s expanding riverfront communities and the preserved natural basins of the Ohio Valley.
