1971 Map of Madison East

About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley at the border of Indiana and Kentucky, separating the riverfront city of Madison from the town of Milton. This 1971 revision captures the transition from the industrial and municipal center of Madison, marked by the Radio Tower (WORX) and extensive infrastructure, to the deeply dissected ridges of the Kentucky shore. Settlement patterns follow the high ground of Fairview Ridge and Kings Ridge, where a network of rural congregations including St Peters Ch and Hopewell Ch define the local community. The topography is characterized by steep ravines and distinctive landmarks like Big Cedar Cliffs. Further south, the landscape becomes increasingly rural near the settlements of McKinney and Monitor, providing a clear view of the homesteads and local roads like Telegraph Hill Road that served the area before modern expansions.
