1956 Map of Owensboro West

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Owensboro dominates the southeastern riverbank in the mid-1950s, serving as a hub for both the Ohio River trade and the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The landscape is defined by the prominent Bon Harbor Hills, which rise above a network of sloughs and ditches such as Crane Pond Slough and Fulkerson Ditch. This drainage system illustrates the historic management of the flood-prone bottomlands surrounding Little Hurricane Island and French Island No 1.
