1961 Map of Rising Sun
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Ohio River carves a winding path through this 1961 survey, separating the riverfront city of Rising Sun in Indiana from the Kentucky hillsides. This stretch of the river valley is defined by significant alluvial plains, including the Upper East Bend Bottom and Mexico Bottom, where farming and small settlements have long thrived. The Kentucky side is particularly dense with genealogical markers, featuring numerous family burial grounds such as the Rice Cem and Stephens Cem tucked into the drainages of Gunpowder Creek and Middle Creek.
