About this map

Yankeetown and its surrounding riverfront settlements define this stretch of the Ohio River as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is heavily marked by water management, with a complex network of artificial drainages including Taylor Ditch, Kaiser Ditch, and the Summer Pecka Ditch branching off from natural water bodies like Little Pigeon Cr. Local aviation and river commerce are represented by Cornell Airport and Vanada Landing, reflecting the dual importance of air and water transport in this region of Indiana and Kentucky.

Rural clusters such as Dayville, Red Bush, and Pelzer are connected by a grid of named roads like Bethany Church Rd, while the southern bank features the Kentucky settlement of Carlinburg. The map reveals a transition from suburban residential developments like Rustic Hills to more dispersed rural hamlets like Pyeattville, all situated within a terrain shaped by the wide bend of the river and numerous minor ditches like McCool Ditch and Mitchem-Ditch.
