1956 Map of Owensboro West

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Ohio River dominates this mid-century landscape, carving a wide path past Little Hurricane Island and the prominent French Island No 1. On the Kentucky side, the rising elevation of the Bon Harbor Hills overlooks the northwestern reaches of Owensboro, where the urban grid begins to give way to agricultural sloughs and ditches. This 1950s survey captures the city's western expansion, noting community landmarks like the Municipal Sport Center, the Foust Jr High Sch, and even a site for the Soap Box Derby.
