1952 Map of Newport
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Ohio River and Licking River converge at the heart of this mid-century survey, defining the industrial and residential boundaries of northern Kentucky. Dense urban blocks in Newport, Bellevue, and Dayton contrast with the winding ridges of Fort Thomas and Highland Heights. The map reveals a high concentration of institutional landmarks that shaped local life, including the Good Shepherd Convent, St Joseph Orphanage, and Speers Memorial Hospital. Transport networks are prominently detailed, from the tracks of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Louisville and Nashville railroads to the active river infrastructure at Lock No 36. South of the urban core, the landscape transitions into smaller settlements like Cold Spring and Crestview, while the massive Evergreen Cemetery and various religious centers like St Anne Convent suggest a long-established community structure.
