About this map

The Ohio River waterfront at Henderson anchors this detailed study of the river port and its inland expansion. The urban core is clearly defined by its historic civic grid, featuring the Courthouse, City Hall, and Barrett Stadium, while the southern reaches of the city extend through Weaverton toward the newer Finley Addition. A dense network of educational and spiritual landmarks, such as Holy Name Sch and Sanderfur Training Sch, reflects the community's mid-century development.

Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions to the agricultural and drainage networks of the Canoe Creek watershed. Significant rural infrastructure is visible along the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor, reaching toward outlying settlements like Anthoston and Rankin. The map also captures the sprawling grounds of Audubon State Park and several large memorial sites, including Fernwood Cemetery and Roselawn Memorial Gardens, which provide valuable location data for genealogists.
