About this map

The Ohio River carves a sweeping path along the Kentucky and Indiana border, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and elevated ridges. This riverfront territory includes the major settlement of Henderson, alongside the smaller communities of Geneva and Wilson. The northern floodplain is dominated by an intricate network of sloughs, including Deep Slough, Saurer Slough, and Muddy Slough, indicating a terrain heavily influenced by seasonal water levels.

Genealogists will find several family and church burial sites, such as Stroud Cem, Clay Cem, and the United Brothers of Fellowship Cem. Higher ground is marked by prominent features like Hickory Ridge and Sugar Tree Ridge. The area's modern infrastructure is represented by the Henderson City-County Airport and Henderson Community College, while river landmarks like Deadmans Island and Henderson Island remain distinct features of the waterway.
