1981 Map of Evansville North

About this map

Evansville expands northward into a landscape defined by suburban transition and rural industry in this 1980s-era study. The northern reaches of the city are anchored by the Evansville Dress Regional Airport and the growing residential pockets of Highland, Stringtown, and Melody Hill. These neighborhoods bridge the gap between the urban center and more established outlying settlements like McCutchanville and Darmstadt. The prevalence of oil wells and the Pigeon Creek Railroad corridor signals the continued industrial utility of the terrain, even as recreational spaces like Clearcrest Country Club and the Fairgrounds redefine land use.
