About this map

The Ohio River divides this landscape between Switzerland County, Indiana, and Carroll County, Kentucky, anchored by the riverfront towns of Vevay and Ghent. This 1967 survey (photorevised in 1980) details a transition from the river valley's industrial and municipal sites, such as the Sewage Disposal plant and Drive-in Theater near Vevay, to the upland ridges and creek bottoms of Kentucky. The southern portion of the map traces the path of the Louisville and Nashville railroad as it follows the course of Eagle Creek through Eagle Station.

Local landmarks like Whites Run Ch and the Stafford Cem provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracking family history in the rural stretches between Easterday and Langstaff. The topography is marked by distinctive features such as Potato Bug Hill and Craig Ridge, while the drainage network of Whites Run, Goose Creek, and McCools Creek illustrates the complex hydraulic character of the Ohio River's tributaries in this border region.
