2022 Map of Vevay South

About this map

The Switzerland County Courthouse stands as a focal point in Vevay, Indiana, overlooking a bend in the Ohio River where Vevay Island separates the main channel. Directly across the water in Kentucky, the community of Ghent is marked by a concentration of local history sites, including the Ghent Second Baptist Cem, Ghent Consolidated Cem, and the Colored Oddfellows Cem. The landscape south of the river turns toward the ridges and hollows of Carroll County, where smaller settlements like Easterday and Langstaff are connected by winding routes such as Jackson Ridge Rd and Stafford Ridge Rd. This area is defined by its numerous drainages, including Goose Creek and Whitehead Run, which feed the river system. Researchers will find a high density of rural landmarks, from the Lower Whites Run Baptist Church to family-named points like Potato Bug Hill and Whiskey Hollow.
