Vevay and the banks of the Ohio River anchor the southern edge of this Switzerland County landscape, where the terrain rises from the river flats into a series of prominent ridges. Settlement patterns follow these high points, with communities like Center Square, Mount Sterling, and Fairview situated along winding ridge-top roads such as Pleasant Ridge Rd. The map illustrates a complex drainage network where Indian Creek, Plum Cr, and Long Run carve deep valleys between Drakes Ridge and Popcorn Ridge. Near the river, Vevay Island sits across from the Kentucky border, marking the historic water boundary between Switzerland and Gallatin counties. Smaller water bodies like Lake Geneva and Edwin Pray Lake are scattered throughout the northern uplands, while the Vevay Cem and Blanton Cem provide essential data points for genealogical research in this part of Indiana.
