1929 Map of Alexandria

About this map

The Alexandria vicinity and the winding valleys of Campbell and Kenton Counties are captured here just before the 1930s. The landscape is defined by the sharp meanders of the Licking River and the Ohio River, with the Louisville & Nashville RR following the Licking's western bank through Morning View and De Mossville. This era reveals a high density of rural institutions, particularly parochial and public schools like Sts Peter and Paul Sch and the Ten Mile Sch, serving scattered farming communities. The presence of Dam 35 on the Ohio River and various stations like Alexander Sta highlight the region's reliance on river and rail transport for both passengers and commerce. Smaller settlements such as Grants Lick and Gubsers Mill anchor the interior, connected by a network of creeks and ridge-top roads.
