1981 Map of Kosmosdale

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley between the ridges of Posey County, Indiana, and the growing suburban and industrial landscape of southwest Jefferson County, Kentucky. This 1981 survey documents the era of industrial expansion along the riverbanks, where massive infrastructure like the powerplant, substations, and a long conveyor system serve the river-to-rail transit corridor. To the south, the Fort Knox Military Reservation encroaches on the hills, while the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad and Louisville and Nashville Railroad provide the backbone for local commerce. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Colvin Cem and Mill Creek Cem to rural outposts like Elizabeth Ch and the many schools, including Watson Lane Sch and Frost Middle Sch, that anchored these communities before modern development reshaped the region.
