About this map

The Ohio River dominates this landscape, serving as the border between Vevay, Indiana, and the town of Ghent, Kentucky. The river corridor is marked by industry and local recreation, featuring a Drive-in Theater, a large Sewage Disposal plant, and the wooded expanse of Vevay Island. In the surrounding Kentucky uplands, the topography is defined by deep drainages like McCools Creek and Whites Run, where small rural communities such as Easterday and Langstaff sit nestled in the valleys.

Evidence of local education and social history is visible through labels for the County High Sch and Township Sch. To the south, the Kentucky River and Eagle Creek converge near Eagle Station, where the Eagle Creek Recreation Area and Stafford Cem provide distinct landmarks. The map also captures curiously named terrain features like Potato Bug Hill and Whiskey Hollow, offering a detailed view of the region's mid-century rural character.
