1970 Map of Cloverport

About this map

The Ohio River acts as the primary geographic corridor on this sheet, defining the border between Indiana and Kentucky. The town of Cloverport stands as the regional hub on the Kentucky shore, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad runs parallel to the water's edge, reflecting the importance of both rail and river transport to the local economy. Across the river in Indiana, Tobinsport anchors the northern bank near the Harris Memorial Cem. Moving inland, the landscape transitions into a series of high ridges, such as Buckeye Ridge and Mullens Ridge, which are dissected by numerous waterways including Poison Creek and Blackford Creek. This 1970 revision shows a rural interior punctuated by small crossroads like Patesville and Arrington Corner, as well as industrial indicators like an active Strip Mine and scattered Oil Wells.
