About this map

The Ohio River dominates this mid-century landscape, separating the growing city of Owensboro, Kentucky, from the rural bottomlands of Spencer County, Indiana. The map captures a high degree of institutional detail within the city, specifically identifying educational landmarks such as Brescia College, Western High Sch, and Technical High Sch. The riverfront is active with infrastructure including a Coast Guard Depot and a protective Levee system near Bank Island.
