1953 Map of Laurel

About this map

The Ohio River curves along the southwestern edge of this Clermont County landscape, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks follow the northern bank through Point Pleasant. Further inland, the terrain is defined by the deep incisions of Twelvemile Creek and Indian Creek, which drain a plateau scattered with small agricultural settlements. This mid-century view shows the rural connectivity of the region via the Laurel Point Isabel Road and the Bethel New Richmond Road, linking hamlets like Laurel and Nicholsville.
