About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley through this borderland, separating the communities of Owen and Sunset Village on the northern bank from the Kentucky side near Skylight. The terrain is defined by dramatic river geography, including the prominent ridge of Devils Backbone and the landform of Rose Island tucked into a bend of the river. Inland from the banks, the landscape transitions from the river-level flats of Belknap Beach to the upland residential developments of Harmony Lake Estates and the established settlement of Goshen.

Transport and industry leave clear marks on the land, from the Rocket Plant Rd near Rolling Hills to the winding course of Fourteenmile Creek as it approaches the river. Small settlements like Runyantown and Vesta are connected by a network of rural routes such as Salem Church Rd and Brick Church Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural and social foundations. The map captures a detailed snapshot of this river corridor, where the natural barrier of the water is bridged by the proximity of towns across the state line.
