About this map

Rosiclare and Elizabethtown anchor this riverfront survey, positioned along the northern bank of the Ohio River where the Illinois and Kentucky borders meet. The geography is defined by significant bends in the river and the presence of Hurricane Island, a large landmass in the channel near the mouth of Hosick Cr. Inland, the terrain rises into the southern reaches of the Shawnee National Forest, where labels like Keeling Hill, Lavender Hill, and Holbrook Hollow describe the relief of Hardin County.

Local history is preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, such as the Stone Church and a network of rural burial grounds including Dixon Cem and Empire Cem. The map tracks the passage of time through its road names, from the Old Elizabethtown Ferry Rd and Iron Furnace Rd to the more modern corridors. To the south, across the water in Kentucky, the settlement of Carrsville sits near Watson Bluff, overlooking the seasonal changes of Mud Lake and the confluence of Deer Creek.
