About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley through this borderland between Indiana and Kentucky, where the Indiana Arsenal occupies a significant portion of the northern riverbank. To the north, the landscape is defined by traditional community anchors such as Salem Church and the Tunnel Mill Camp, reflecting a rural social structure centered on small crossroads like Runyantown and Vesta. Along the southern Kentucky shore, the terrain transitions into residential developments and recreation, including the Harmony Landing Country Club and the riverfront community of Belknap Beach. Local history is visible in the ruins of the Historic Fort near the mouth of Fourteenmile Creek, as well as the numerous small cemeteries and schools like Liberty School that serve the townships of Skylight and Goshen.
