About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley between Clark County and Oldham County, serving as the focal point for this survey revised in the early 1960s. On the Indiana side, the massive Indiana Arsenal reservation dominates the riverbank, while the distinctive Devils Backbone ridge overlooks the water near Rose Island. Local industry and history are evident at the Tunnel Mill and the nearby Tunnel Mill Camp along Fourteenmile Creek. Small rural communities like Rusyantown and Rolling Hills sit on the Indiana bluffs, while the Kentucky shore shows growing residential developments such as Harmony Village and Oldham Acres. A notable point of local history is the Historic Fort (Ruins) situated atop the narrow ridge of the Backbone, highlighting a landscape defined by strategic river views and deep-cut tributaries like Harrods Creek and Bull Creek.
