1950 Map of Alton
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Ohio River dominates this mid-century landscape, winding through a series of dramatic loops including Big Bend and Oxbow Bend. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the river and the settlements along the Indiana and Kentucky borders during the late 1940s and 1950. Along the northern bank, the town of Leavenworth and the smaller New Amsterdam serve as primary centers, while the interior is dotted with rural institutions like the St Theresa Academy and numerous country schools such as Beechland Sch and Mint Springs Sch.
