1981 Map of Kosmosdale

About this map

The Ohio River dominates this landscape where Kentucky meets Indiana, creating a corridor of industry and settlement between the riverbanks and the rising elevations of McHarry Hill. In the early 1980s, the area south of Louisville shows significant residential growth in Valley Station and Meadow Lawn, alongside heavy industrial infrastructure like the Powerplant and various conveyors servicing the river trade. The map illustrates a complex transportation network where the Louisville and Nashville and Illinois Central Gulf railroads parallel the Dixie Hwy.
