About this map

The Ohio River waterfront anchors this mid-century survey, detailing the industrial and transportation hub where New Albany meets the Falls of the Ohio. A dense network of railroads, including the Baltimore and Ohio RR and the Pennsylvania RR, highlights the area's importance as a gateway between Indiana and Kentucky. The map captures the urban growth of Clarksville and Jeffersonville alongside established neighborhoods like Claysburg.

Beyond the city center, the landscape transitions into the prominent heights of Floyds Knobs and Bald Knob. Local history is preserved through scattered institutions such as the County Infirmary, Blackiston Mill, and numerous rural schools like Mt Tabor Sch. The presence of several religious and burial sites, including Graceland Cem and St Marys Cem, provides essential points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in Floyd and Clark counties during the post-war era.
