About this map

The Ohio River dominates this tri-county intersection during the early 1980s, where the Falls of the Ohio and McAlpine Locks manage the passage between Indiana and Kentucky. The urban expansion of New Albany and Clarksville is shown in detail, reaching north toward the heights of Bald Knob and Spickert Knob. Institutional history is prominently recorded through the Indiana University Southeast Campus, the County Infirmary, and Silvercrest State Hospital.

Transport infrastructure connects the river cities via the Sherman Minton Bridge and the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge, while the industrial legacy of Blackiston Mill remains on the eponymous run. Long-standing local landmarks, from Jacobs Chapel and Saint Marys Ch to the expansive Fairview Cem, provide a dense grid for genealogical research. The map also captures the sprawling rail networks of the Southern and Conrail lines as they service the riverfront's warehouses and powerplants.
