1915 Map of Lawrenceburg

About this map

The confluence of the Whitewater River, Miami River, and Ohio River creates a complex landscape of waterways and rail corridors along the Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio borders. Surveyed under the direction of R. B. Marshall, this 1915 study details a critical transportation bottleneck where the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago and St Louis railroad and an Electric line weave through the river valleys. Local infrastructure is prominently featured, including the Suspension Bridge near Cilley and the appropriately named Lost Bridge. Small rural settlements like Simmonson Station and Valley Junction serve as focal points for the region's early 20th-century development, while upland landmarks such as Hill School and Whitewater School provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local family history in this tri-state area.
