1982 Map of Jeffersonville

About this map

The Ohio River forms the central spine of this mid-1980s landscape, connecting the industrial and residential growth of Jeffersonville, Indiana, with the expanding suburbs of Louisville, Kentucky. The map documents a complex urban-rural interface, where the massive US Military Reservation Indiana Army Ammunition Plant and Clark County Airport occupy significant acreage north of the river. The Kentucky side reveals a dense network of post-war residential enclaves such as Indian Hills and Rolling Fields, alongside significant cultural sites like the Locust Grove Historic Home and the Zachary Taylor National Cem. Substantial riverfront infrastructure is evident, including the Municipal Harbor and several pumping stations, reflecting the area's continued reliance on the waterway for both transport and utility. The inclusion of the Kentucky Railway Museum and several Conrail lines highlights the region's enduring role as a major Midwestern transportation nexus.
