1967 Map of Carrollton

About this map

The confluence of the Ohio River and the Kentucky River dominates this 1960s-era topographic study, centering on the city of Carrollton. The urban core is detailed with civic infrastructure including the Courthouse, City Hall, and several educational institutions like the County Junior High School. Across the water, the smaller settlement of Prestonville sits at the river junction, while the expansive grounds of General Butler State Park offer a planned recreational landscape featuring a Campsite and Picnic Area. The surrounding Kentucky and Indiana hillsides reveal a network of rural life defined by family-named ridges like Wrights Ridge and numerous country churches, including Mt Zion Church and Spring Branch Church. Further south, the community of English and the curious Weather Mound highlight the diverse historical markers found in the upland terrain of Carroll and Trimble Counties.
