About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central artery and state boundary in this 2013 survey, separating the riverfront communities of Vevay on the northern bank from Ghent to the south. This landscape is defined by the confluence of major waterways, where the Kentucky River joins the Ohio near the southwestern corner of the sheet. The terrain transitions from the broad river valley into a series of named ridges and hollows, including the curiously named Potato Bug Hill and Whiskey Hollow.

Away from the primary river towns, smaller settlements like Easterday and Langstaff are positioned along local drainages such as Whites Run. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the high-ground paths of Fishing Worm Ridge Rd to the various creeks like Goose Creek and Buffalo Creek that feed the regional river system. This modern record captures the enduring settlement patterns of a storied border region between Indiana and Kentucky.
