1952 Map of Manchester Islands
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Manchester Island No 1 and Manchester Island No 2 dominate the channel of the Ohio River here, marking the boundary between Kentucky and Ohio in the early 1950s. On the southern shore, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks parallel the water, connecting the small landing at Irwin to the Trinity Station hub. The landscape rising from the river is defined by the steep relief of Chalk Ridge and prominent heights like Big Brier Knob, where the Sulphur Knob Lookout Tower once stood sentinel over the timbered hills.
