1981 Map of Rising Sun

About this map

The Ohio River separates Indiana and Kentucky as it winds past the established riverfront town of Rising Sun, where the Rising Sun County Middle Sch and Rising Sun Cem serve the local community. Across the water in Kentucky, the map documents a series of rural hamlets including Rabbit Hash and Belleview (Grant PO), the latter retaining its historical post office designation. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the wide agricultural flats of Upper East Bend Bottom and the steep, wooded hillsides of Bogus Ridge and Randolph.
