1912 Map of Kosmosdale

About this map

The Ohio River forms the central spine of this landscape, dividing the riverfront communities of Indiana and Kentucky during a period of expanding infrastructure. On the Kentucky side, the southern edge of Louisville begins to push into the countryside, with established neighborhoods like Shively and Highland Park appearing alongside the expansive Iroquois Park. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, characterized by steep elevations such as Rabbit Hash Ridge and isolated knobs. This area is dotted with small rural centers including Kosmosdale and Medora, supported by an intricate network of country schools like Mill Creek School and Mt. Holly School.
