1965 Map of Jeffersonville

About this map

The Ohio River acts as the central spine of this mid-1960s survey, dividing the industrial and suburban growth of Jeffersonville, Indiana, from the expanding neighborhoods of Louisville, Kentucky. On the Indiana side, the massive U S Military Reservation Indiana Arsenal dominates the northern landscape, while the Pennsylvania Railroad and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad facilitate heavy industry near Cementville. Across the water, the Kentucky shoreline reveals a densely developed suburban pattern, featuring numerous incorporated enclaves like Windy Hills and Indian Hills. Notable institutional landmarks are prominent throughout, including the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery and the Locust Grove Historical Home. The presence of the John F Kennedy Memorial Bridge and Municipal Harbor underscores the river's enduring role in regional transport and commerce.
