About this map

The Ohio River carves a dramatic sweep through this borderland where Kentucky and Indiana meet, defining the life and layout of Uniontown. This riverfront community is structured by a tight grid of streets like Adam St and Sigsbee St, positioned just above the confluence of Highland Cr and the main channel. The landscape is dominated by complex fluvial features, including the large Slim Island and the smaller Towhead Island, which divert the river's flow near Mississippi Bend.

Away from the main current, the topography is a mosaic of wetlands and seasonal water bodies such as Hovey Lake, Dry Lake, and the winding Piroque Slough. These features, along with Grassy Slough and Levy Slough, indicate a low-lying floodplain managed by a network of rural routes like Bonebank Rd and Raben Rd. The presence of Dam 49 Rd and Old Dam 49 Rd points to the historical and ongoing engineering required to navigate and inhabit this shifting river environment.
