About this map

The confluence of the Ohio River and the Kentucky River serves as the focal point for this landscape, where the town of Carrollton sits on the southern bank. Across the water, Prestonville occupies the point between the two rivers, while the Indiana side features the small settlement of Brooksburg. The topography transitions from the broad river bottomlands of Greens Bottom to the dissected uplands of Milton and Craig, where ridges like Lick Ridge and North Ridge divide numerous creek drainages.

Social and civic life is well-documented through landmarks such as the Courthouse, City Hall, and the National Guard Armory. Genealogists and local historians can locate established institutions including Carrollton High Sch, St Johns Sch, and several houses of worship like Morris Ch and Pilgrim Ch. The map also captures the recreational footprint of the era, notably the expansive grounds of General Butler State Park with its dedicated Campsite and Picnic Area.
