1982 Map of Jeffersonville

About this map

Ohio River crossings and riverfront industries dominate this 1982 perspective of the border between Jeffersonville, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky. The map documents a dense urban and suburban landscape, featuring the sprawling US Military Reservation Indiana Army Ammunition Plant north of Utica and the federal presence at the US Census Bureau in Jeffersonville. On the Kentucky side, the terrain rises into affluent residential enclaves like Glenview Heights and Windy Hills, while the historic Zachary Taylor National Cem and the VA Hospital mark the interior of the city. Transportation networks are highly developed, showing the Conrail and Southern rail lines intersecting the river, alongside the numerous bridges connecting the two states. The mapping also highlights specialized institutions such as the Sacred Heart Academy and Trinity High Sch, reflecting the community's established social infrastructure during the early 1980s.
