About this map

The Ohio River defines the southern boundary of this Spencer County landscape, where the city of Rockport serves as a prominent riverfront hub. The downtown grid is clearly delineated, featuring the Spencer County Courthouse and historic thoroughfares like Main St and Center St. Rising above the riverbank is Hanging Rock, a distinctive landmark overlooking the water near the Rockport Ferry Rd corridor.

Inland, the topography transitions into the distinctive elevations of Fisher Knobs, Nix Hill, and Coal Knobs. The rural sections are dotted with family and church burial grounds, including Stateler Cem, Zoar Cem, and Hackleman Cem, providing critical touchpoints for genealogical research. A network of agricultural drainage systems, such as Huffman Ditch and Sweezer Ditch, crisscrosses the lowlands between smaller settlements like Chrisney, Silverdale, and Reo.
