About this map

New Albany dominates this Indiana-Kentucky borderlands landscape, situated where the high ridges of the Knobs meet the northern banks of the Ohio River. The map illustrates the dense urban grid of Louisville and New Albany, connected across the water by the Sherman Minton Bridge and the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge. The river itself is punctuated by Sand Island and Shippingport Island, marking the historic transition point near the Falls of the Ohio.

Researchers will find a concentration of significant burial grounds, including the New Albany National Cem, Fairview Cem, and Saint Mary's Cem. Away from the urban core, the terrain rises sharply into the hills, characterized by prominent landmarks like Spickert Knob, Bald Knob, and Lost Knob. The northern suburbs show the integration of educational and residential developments, such as Indiana Univ Southeast and the neighborhood of Blackiston Village.
