1971 Map of Madison East

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Ohio River cuts a wide path between Indiana and Kentucky, serving as the dominant geographic and economic feature of this river valley landscape. On the Indiana side, the city of Madison sits below the prominent Telegraph Hill, while across the water in Kentucky, the town of Milton is framed by a network of steep ridges and deep hollows like Hardscrabble Hollow. This era shows a transition in land use, with established riverside landmarks like the Radio Tower (WORX) and various boat ramps alongside newer developments such as the Celtic Grove Campground. The Kentucky interior is defined by high ground, including Fairview Ridge and Freeport Ridge, where small rural communities are anchored by centers of faith and memory like St Peters Ch, Hopewell Ch, and Moffett Cem. The map captures the complex drainage patterns of the region, where numerous creeks like Canip Creek and Locust Creek have carved the terrain into its distinctive finger-like ridges.
