2013 Map of Tell City

About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep arc through this landscape, serving as the primary geographic border between Indiana and Kentucky. On the Indiana bank, the street grid of Tell City dominates the eastern shore, showing a dense residential and commercial pattern that transitions into the smaller riverfront community of Troy to the north. Across the water, the Kentucky side features the settlement of Hawesville and the expansive Hancock County Airport-Ron Lewis Field. The interior terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding path of Muddy Gut and the various branches of Yellow Creek, such as N Yellow Cr Fork and S Yellow Cr Fork. This 2013 survey illustrates the continued importance of river-adjacent infrastructure, from the small airstrips like Lamar Field Airport to the established road networks connecting rural hamlets like Adair and Petri.
