USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Ohio River forms a sweeping oxbow through this borderland, where the fertile floodplains of Upper East Bend Bottom, Lower East Bend Bottom, and Mexico Bottom meet the rising ridges of Randolph and Posey townships. On the Indiana side, the town of Rising Sun serves as a local hub, featuring the Rising Sun School and several Sand and Gravel Pits along the riverbanks. Across the water in Kentucky, the legendary landing at Rabbit Hash and the hamlet of Big Bone provide a window into the rural life of the early 1960s.
