About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central boundary of this survey, dividing the landscapes of Charlestown, Indiana, from the rural communities of Kentucky. Notable features along the water include Eighteenmile Island and the distinctive topography of Devils Backbone, situated near the confluence with Fourteenmile Creek. This region illustrates the modern expansion of residential developments such as Harmony Lake Estates and Oldham Acres alongside older settlements like Skylight and Goshen.

The map details a complex network of tributaries, including Harrods Creek and Sinking Fork, which define the drainage patterns of the local hills. To the north, the small hamlet of Runyantown and the community of Vesta are reached by long-established routes like Salem Church Rd and Old State Rd 62. Former recreation sites like Rose Island contrast with active waterfront areas such as Belknap Beach and River Bluff, showing the evolving human relationship with the riverfront.
