About this map

New Albany and its surrounding communities are defined by the wide arc of the Ohio River as it passes the historic Falls of the Ohio. This modern survey reveals the complex urban and natural geography where Indiana meets Kentucky, connected by major spans like the Sherman Minton Bridge and the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of Louisville and Jeffersonville to the prominent heights of Floyds Knobs and Spickert Knob to the northwest.

Industrial and transport history is evident in the rail lines of the Kentucky & Indiana Terminal RR and the proximity of the Blackiston Mill area. Significant local heritage sites are documented throughout, including the New Albany National Cem and the Loop Island Wetlands Section. The map provides a detailed view of the river's character, showing Sand Island and Shippingport Island amidst the evolving suburban sprawl of Clarksville and Sellersburg.
