The Silver-Little Kentucky Watershed drains about 430,000 acres in southeastern Indiana and about 375,000 acres in Kentucky. The watershed is centered around the Ohio River, which accepts waters from many smaller creeks, including (on the Indiana side of the Ohio) Indian Kentuck Creek, Big Clifty Creek, Fourteenmile Creek, and Knob Creek. The watershed drains most of Clark County, large portions of Jefferson County, and parts of six other Indiana counties.
