1906 Map of Lockport

About this map

Kentucky River commerce and riverbank life define this territory at the turn of the century, where winding bends create distinct agricultural pockets like Clements Bottom and Hardin Bottom. This 1906 survey by W.N. Morrill and others documents a landscape heavily reliant on the water for transport and industry, anchored by Lock No 2 and Lock No 3. Local infrastructure is highly localized, with several ferries including Harpers Ferry and Manford Ferry providing vital crossings between Owen Co, Henry Co, and Franklin Co. Away from the river, the map captures a rural network of post offices like Teresita P O and schools such as Claxton School and Greenup School. Significant roadway arteries like the Owenton Pike and Frankfort Pike link these upland settlements to the river towns of Gratz and Monterey, while landmarks like Tackitts Mill point to the area's milling history.
