1950 Map of Alton
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The Ohio River winds through a complex boundary landscape where Indiana and Kentucky meet, defining the life and movement of mid-century river towns. Near the sharp river bends, the community of Alton sits at the mouth of the Little Blue River, while the Boyer Ferry across Bear Creek indicates the essential water-based transit of the era. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Watson Run and Little Oil Creek, creating a series of hollows and bottoms that dictated the placement of early homesteads and social centers.
