About this map

The Ohio River meanders across this landscape, defining the state boundary between Kentucky and Indiana. On the Kentucky side, the settlement of Geneva and the western edge of Henderson serve as central points of activity, anchored by the Henderson City-County Airport. The low-lying terrain north of the river is a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies, including Little Swan Pond Slough and Big Swan Pond Slough, reflecting a landscape managed for drainage and agriculture.

South of the river, the topography rises toward Sugar Tree Ridge and Hickory Ridge, where the community of Wilson is situated. This area is punctuated by historical landmarks important to local researchers, such as Clay Cem and Stroud Cem. The presence of several distinct ridges and the winding path of Canoe Creek illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use and transportation in Henderson County.
