About this map

The Ohio River forms a wide natural boundary between Indiana and Kentucky on this 2010 survey, anchoring the riverfront settlements of Vevay and Ghent. This landscape is defined by the high concentration of historic burial sites surrounding Ghent, including the Ghent's Old Black Cemetery, Ghent 2nd Baptist Cemetery, and the Masonic Cemetery. These sites, alongside others like the Scott Number 1 Cemetery, suggest a deeply rooted community history tied to the river valley's fertile banks.

Moving inland from the river, the terrain rises into named landmarks like Potato Bug Hill and the colorfully titled Whiskey Hollow. The rural interior is connected by a network of local routes such as Dividing Ridge Rd and Ghent-Eagle Station Rd, which link smaller locales like Easterday and Eagle Station. Waterways including McCools Creek and Whites Run carve through the topography, leading down toward the Kentucky River and Eagle Creek at the southern extent of the map.
