1992 Map of New Albany

About this map

The Ohio River dominates this mid-1990s landscape, serving as the border between New Albany and Louisville. Industrial and transit infrastructure is highly visible, featuring the McAlpine Locks, McAlpine Dam, and the Portland Canal bypassing the Falls of the Ohio. The map details the transition from the densely developed city centers to the elevated terrain of Floyds Knobs and Bald Knob to the northwest. Significant institutional presence is noted through the Indiana University Southeast Campus, the County Infirmary, and County Memorial Hospital. The suburban growth of the era is evident in the residential expansion of Clarksville and the numerous schools, such as New Albany High Sch and Scribner High Sch, that dot the Indiana side of the river. Legacy features like the Blackiston Mill on Silver Creek remain as markers of the area's earlier water-powered industry.
