1968 Map of Friendship

About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley between the Kentucky and Ohio borders, serving as the central artery for the region's transport and industry in the late 1960s. On the northern bank, the Shawnee State Forest dominates the terrain with a dense network of hollows like Walker Hollow and Bradford Hollow, while the urban reach of Portsmouth and West Portsmouth anchors the eastern edge near the confluence with the Scioto River. Across the water in Kentucky, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks hug the shoreline, connecting riverside hamlets like Firebrick and South Portsmouth.
