1949 Map of Garrison

About this map

The Ohio River shoreline and the deep valleys of the northern Kentucky hills define this late 1940s landscape. The settlement of Garrison serves as the primary hub along the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, which tracks closely with the river's edge toward Quincy. Away from the river, the terrain is characterized by a dense network of hollows and branches, such as Kinniconick Creek and Dry Hollow, where small rural communities were established.
