1981 Map of Patriot

About this map

The Ohio River forms a wide, sweeping bend at the heart of this border region, defining the boundary between Indiana and Kentucky. The settlement of Patriot sits on the northern bank, serving as a focal point for the agricultural activity that thrives in the fertile alluvial plains of Mexico Bottom and Steele Bottom. These lowlands contrast sharply with the dissected uplands of the Mead Ridge area, where a network of family cemeteries and small rural congregations, including Concord Ch and Paint Lick Ch, are tucked into the valleys of Sugar Creek and Paint Lick Creek.
