1981 Map of Kosmosdale

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

The Ohio River carves through the center of this landscape, separating the elevated, ridge-crossed terrain of Posey and Taylor in Indiana from the industrial and residential growth of Jefferson County. Along the Kentucky bank, the Illinois Central Gulf railroad supports a corridor of industry including a massive Powerplant and an Industrial Waste Pond near Kosmosdale. This 1980s-era revision shows the transition from dense woodland at McHarry Hill to the suburban expansion at Valley Station and Valley Gardens. Small rural enclaves such as Happy Hollow and Macedonia persist among the valleys, while the Fort Knox Military Reservation occupies the southern reaches near the confluence of the Salt River. Genealogical interest is found in numerous family and community sites like Mill Creek Cem and Moore Chapel, which highlight the area's long-established riverfront settlement history.
