1957 Map of Evansville

About this map

The sprawling riverfront of Evansville dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial growth and its vital connection to the Ohio River. The city's mid-century expansion is evidenced by the dense grid of schools and hospitals, such as Evansville College and St Marys Hospital, alongside major recreational landmarks like Bosse Field and Roberts Municipal Stadium. Across the river in Kentucky, the terrain transitions into the backwaters and sloughs of the Green River confluence, where Audubon Memorial State Park and Ellis Park stand in contrast to the urban core.
