Louisville
Louisville features a diverse topography shaped by the Ohio River and surrounding landscape. The city lies at an elevation of approximately 466 feet (142 meters) and is characterized by rolling hills and valleys, with the highest point in the county reaching about 902 feet (275 meters) at South Park Hill in the southern region. The terrain is predominantly land, with about 380 square miles (980 square kilometers) of land area, interspersed with waterways, including the Ohio River, which forms the northern boundary of the county and serves as a vital transportation route. The area is also marked by notable features such as the Falls of the Ohio, which historically posed a significant barrier to river navigation, contributing to Louisville's early development as a strategic port. This combination of riverine and elevated landscapes provides a unique backdrop for the city, influencing its climate and development patterns.
