About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of the Indiana-Kentucky border, creating a landscape of high ridges and secluded hollows. On the Kentucky side, Stephensport sits near the mouth of Sinking Creek, while across the water in Indiana, the small settlements of Addison and Holt occupy the narrow floodplains below the bluffs. The interior of the map is dominated by the Hoosier National Forest, where the complex topography includes German Ridge and notable landmarks like Rickert Cliffs and Idle George Cliff.

Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, including the Holt Family Cem, Saint Peter Cem, and Shoemaker Cem. The road network, such as Tucker School Rd and Ammons Stephensport Rd, reflects the rural development of the river valley, while numerous trail systems like the German Ridge 1 Trl provide access to the forested uplands of Plock Knob and Krausch Hill.
