About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central artery and state boundary in this 1960s study, connecting the industrial hubs of Jeffersonville, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky. Large-scale riverfront infrastructure is evident, from the City Waterworks and Pumping Sta to the numerous islands like Sixmile Island and Towhead Island. The Indiana side reveals the extensive U S Military Reservation Indiana Arsenal, while the Kentucky side shows the suburban expansion of communities such as St Matthews and Indian Hills.

Transport networks are densely mapped, featuring the Pennsylvania RR and Baltimore and Ohio RR crossing through Indiana. Local history is preserved in the detailed marking of institutions such as the State School for the Blind, St Josephs Orphanage, and the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery. The transition from industrial corridors near Silver Creek to residential developments like Glenview Manor illustrates the mid-century growth of the Falls City region.
