1981 Map of Alexandria

About this map

The Licking River carves a dramatic oxbow at Grants Bend, defining the rugged border between Kenton and Campbell Counties during the early 1980s. This survey captures a rural landscape transitioning toward suburban growth, anchored by the settlement of Alexandria to the east and Visalia along the riverbanks. The Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks follow the western river valley, serving established communities like Latonia Lakes and Ryland Heights. Local social and educational hubs are clearly marked, including Bishop Brossart High Sch and several country churches such as St Mary Ch and Pleasant Ridge Ch. To the south, the expansive A J Jolly County Park and Campbell County Lake highlight the area's recreational development, while numerous ridge roads like Persimmon Grove Rd trace the upland topography between the river valleys.
