1932 Map of Lawrenceburg

About this map

Whitewater River and the Miami River converge here just before joining the massive bend of the Ohio River at the borders of Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. This early 1930s survey illustrates a landscape defined by its waterways and transport corridors, featuring the prominent Lost Bridge and a Suspension Bridge spanning the rivers. The rail infrastructure of the C C C and St L RR meets at Valley Junction, while the C & W Electric Road follows the northern banks, linking settlements like Elizabethtown and Cleves. Local life is anchored by family-named landmarks and rural institutions such as Eighteenmile House, Bullittsville Ch, and Mt Nebo School. The topography reveals the transition from the river plains to the higher ground of Fort Hill and Fort Gass, providing a window into the pre-war rural development of the tri-state area.
