1967 Map of Olmsted
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Ohio River dominates this mid-century survey, dividing Pulaski County, Illinois, from Ballard County, Kentucky. This stretch of the river is defined by the Grand Chain reefs and the critical maritime operations at Lock and Dam No 53, which managed river traffic during this era. The Illinois side is a landscape of established settlements and small rural communities like Olmsted and Grand Chain, connected by the New York Central railroad. Numerous small family and community cemeteries, such as Masonic Cem and Caledonia Campground Cem, are scattered across the bluffs, offering valuable records for local genealogy.
