1952 Map of Maysville East

About this map

The Ohio River dominates this mid-century survey, defining the border between Kentucky and Ohio at a sweeping northern bend. On the Kentucky shore, the city of Maysville is shown with its dense street grid and industrial footprint, serving as a vital river port and rail hub. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks hug the riverbank, tracing the narrow corridor between the water and the rising bluffs. Moving east, the landscape becomes more rural, punctuated by the small settlement of Sand Hill and the deep incisions of watercourses like Kennedy Creek and Crooked Creek. This era of the river's history is recorded just after 1950, capturing the infrastructure and property lines that shaped these riverside communities before later modern developments altered the waterfront.
