1967 Map of Carrollton

About this map

The Kentucky River and Ohio River converge at the heart of this region, shaping the layout of Carrollton and the neighboring settlement of Prestonville. The town grid in Carrollton includes the Courthouse, Post Office, and City Hall, flanked by the expansive grounds of General Butler State Park and Indian Hills. High ground is defined by prominent landforms such as Splinter Ridge, Craig Ridge, and Thorn Ridge, where small rural communities like Five Points and Lamb are situated. Local life is mapped through several churches and schools, including Mt Zion Ch, St Johns Sch, and the County Jr High Sch. The map also captures the Indiana-Kentucky border along the Ohio River, noting the position of the low water line as determined by early 20th-century Corps of Engineers charts.
