1981 Map of Aurora

About this map

Ohio River commerce and the steep ridges of Dearborn County define this early 1980s landscape at the Indiana-Kentucky border. The urban centers of Lawrenceburg and Aurora sit perched along the riverbank, tied together by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and a network of winding valley roads. While the riverfront shows industrial development like Pumping Sta and Settling Ponds, the interior is a series of high ridges, including Ebenezer Ridge and Hogan Sinai Ridge, where smaller communities such as Wilmington and Cochran reside.
