2022 Map of Smith Mills

About this map

The Ohio River forms the northern boundary of this Kentucky landscape, where the alluvial lowlands meet the rolling elevations of the Cabell Hills and Cape Hills. The map details a complex system of waterways, including Hogan Slough, Hogland Slough, and Fishtrap Slough, which drain the flat bottomlands near Diamond Island. At the intersection of State HWY 1837 and Smith Mills Rd, the settlement of Smith Mills serves as a local hub, featuring the Smith Mills Cem. To the south, the community of Hitesville sits near the headwaters of Mason Cr and Little Mason Cr. The mapping reflects a landscape defined by its transition from river-fed wetlands to upland agricultural tracts, with family-named routes like J J Utley RD and Martin-Culver RD providing a window into the rural road network of Henderson and Union Counties.
