1967 Map of Buena Vista

About this map

The Ohio River forms a wide, sweeping boundary between Ohio and Kentucky on this mid-century survey, defining the industrial and transport corridor for the riverfront communities of Stout and Buena Vista. Along the northern bank, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the shoreline, serving a landscape dominated by the dense woodlands of Shawnee State Forest. The interior terrain is deeply dissected by numerous family-named hollows and creek branches, such as Silver Mine Hollow and Copperas Rock Hollow, which suggest a history of local resource extraction and early settlement patterns in the rugged hills of Adams Co.
