2013 Map of Rome

About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep meander through this borderland, separating the riverfront settlements of Rome and Hardingrove in Indiana from Stephensport and Addison in Kentucky. The landscape transitions from the broad floodplains of Anspaugh Flats and Harding Flats to the high, broken ground of German Ridge. This elevated terrain is dominated by the German Ridge Recreation Area, where the German Ridge Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark. Numerous smaller waterways like Poison Cr and Sinking Cr feed the main river artery, creating a network of hollows and ridges such as Link Hollow and Goosetown Ridge. The map details a rural landscape defined by family-named landmarks including Krausch Hill, Solomon Bryant Hill, and the striking Idle George Cliff overlooking the river. This topographical record illustrates the enduring relationship between the tight river bends and the upland forest communities that overlook them.
