1970 Map of Cloverport

About this map

The Ohio River carves a dramatic bend through this landscape, separating Tobinsport on the Indiana bank from the rail-line community of Cloverport in Kentucky. The topography is defined by sharp ridges like Mullens Ridge and Tuckers Ridge, which hem in the numerous small drainages such as Blackford Creek and Caney Creek. This 1970 revision provides a detailed view of the rural settlement patterns along the Hancock and Breckinridge county lines, where small crossroads like Arrington Corner and Sunny Corner persist alongside family-named landmarks. The presence of Oil Wells and a Strip Mine south of Patesville indicates the industrial footprint of the era, while spiritual and community centers are represented by Bethlehem Ch and Harris Memorial Cem. This survey illustrates the contrast between the flat, fertile river bottomland of Tobin and the deeply dissected hills to the south and west.
