1952 Map of Evansville
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Ohio River curves sharply through this mid-century survey, defining the border between Indiana and Kentucky near Evansville. The landscape is dominated by complex river morphology, including a large Island and a series of backwater features such as Green Slough, Bee Slough, and Deep Slough. On the Kentucky side, the topography rises into the Wolf Hills, where Audubon Memorial State Park and Dresser Lake are located. This area shows a transition from the industrial and recreational focus of Dade Park to the small settlements of White City and Walker. The map also captures several family-named landmarks along the river plains, including Atkinson, Harding, and Mc Clair, providing a detailed look at the rural landholdings and floodplain agriculture of the early 1950s.
