1961 Map of Owen

About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central artery and dividing line between Indiana and Kentucky in this early 1960s topographic study. On the Indiana side, the massive U S Military Reservation Indiana Arsenal occupies a significant portion of the landscape, including the Devils Backbone and the site of the Historic Fort. The map details the mid-century transition of the Kentucky shoreline into residential and recreational developments, featuring Harmony Lake Estates, Oldham Acres, and Belknap Beach. Rural life remains anchored by established landmarks such as Salem Ch, Shiloh Ch, and the Liberty Sch. Significant water features like Fourteenmile Creek and Harrods Creek cut through the terrain, while Rose Island and Eighteenmile Island sit within the river’s flow, highlighting the area’s longstanding relationship with river navigation and leisure.
