1968 Map of Owensboro West

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Ohio River dominates this landscape, winding past Little Hurricane Island and the substantial French Island No 1 as it separates Kentucky from Indiana. On the Kentucky side, the city of Owensboro expands westward toward the Bon Harbor Hills, where the terrain rises sharply above the floodplains of Cowhide Slough and Katie Meadow Slough. This 1960s survey captures a transition in land use, showing industrial features like kilns and a claypit alongside mid-century recreation spots like a Soap Box Derby Racetrack and a Drive-in Theater.
