About location

Ellis Park Racing & Gaming sits near the Ohio River in Henderson, Kentucky, where the river forms the state line with Indiana opposite Evansville. Opened in 1922, Ellis Park is a Thoroughbred racing venue with a one-mile dirt oval, carrying Kentucky’s racing tradition to the western edge of the state. Its name now also reflects the gaming operation on the grounds. The setting is shaped by the broad Ohio River corridor and the US 41 crossing linking Henderson with Evansville. Transport routes, wooded banks and the racetrack converge close to a busy Midwestern urban area. For racegoers, it is a Kentucky track with a direct cross-river connection to southern Indiana.

City Evansville

Evansville sits on the Ohio River in southwestern Indiana, where the broad waterway forms the state border with Kentucky. The city developed as a river port and industrial centre, and its downtown riverfront still links civic spaces with the banks of the Ohio. Evansville’s World War II role is recalled by USS LST-325, a landing ship berthed on the waterfront, while local shipyards built LST vessels during the war. Bosse Field, opened in 1915, remains home to the Evansville Otters baseball team. Museums, performance venues and restaurants cluster around the central districts, but the river remains the defining line in the city’s geography.

Indiana
Region Indiana

Indiana’s terrain ranges from the sandy Lake Michigan shore and glaciated plains in the north to wooded, rolling hills in the south, creating a clear shift in character across the state. The Wabash River, Indiana’s state river, follows much of the western border before meeting the Ohio River. Indianapolis anchors the centre with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indianapolis 500, while smaller cities and farming communities reflect the importance of corn and soybean country. Indiana Dunes National Park adds beaches and dune formations to a state better known for its interior. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Indiana.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
