1967 Map of Owensboro East

About this map

The Ohio River dominates this mid-century survey, dividing the industrial and residential heart of Owensboro from the agricultural flats across the state line. The city's eastern expansion is evident through a concentrated network of schools and civic institutions, including Brescia College, Technical High School, and the Opportunity Center School. Transportation corridors such as the Louisville and Nashville railroad and Nashville Road anchor the urban grid, while large-scale land uses like the Elmwood Cemetery, Greenwood Cemetery, and the Monastery mark the landscape.
