1953 Map of Carrollton

About this map

The Ohio River dominates this mid-century survey, serving as the broad dividing line between Indiana and Kentucky. At its prominent bend, Carrollton sits at the confluence where the Kentucky River flows into the Ohio, its grid-style streets anchored by the I O O F Cem and nearby Lock No 1. Across the water in Indiana, the landscape is defined by the steep rises of Milton and the Bracket Ridge, while the Kentucky side features the recreational grounds of General Butler State Park.
