1951 Map of New Albany

About this map

The Ohio River flows through the center of this mid-century survey, dividing the growing industrial centers of New Albany, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky. The landscape transitions from the dense urban grid of Portland and the riverfront Dry Dock at Shippingport to the prominent heights of Floyds Knobs and Bald Knob. This era captures a bustling river economy where the Falls of the Ohio still influence local navigation and the Toll Bridge connects the two states.
