2013 Map of Wilson

About this map

The Ohio River carves a massive bend through this landscape, defining the border between Kentucky and Indiana. Along its banks, complex drainage networks of sloughs and bayous like Big Swan Pond Slough and Pond Bayou reveal the river's historical shifts and the low-lying nature of the bottomlands. Inland, the small settlements of Geneva and Wilson serve as focal points for a rural road network that includes family-named routes such as Clay Cemetery Rd and McDonald Landing Rd. High ground is marked by features like Hickory Ridge and Sugar Tree Ridge, which stand out against the wetland features. The Henderson City-County Airport represents a modern industrial footprint amidst the traditional agrarian and riparian terrain, while Deadmans Island and Henderson Island sit within the main river channel, illustrating the persistent presence of these fluvial landmarks.
