USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
The Ohio River dominates this landscape, serving as the definitive border between Indiana and Kentucky. On the Indiana shore, the town of Rising Sun is the primary hub, showing a developed street grid and the Rising Sun County Middle Sch. Across the water in Kentucky, the topography transitions into a series of deeply dissected ridges and bottoms, including the Upper East Bend Bottom and Lower East Bend Bottom. This area reflects a river-dependent economy, evidenced by the large Powerplant and its associated Settling Pond near the riverbank.
