1968 Map of Portsmouth

About this map

Portsmouth serves as the focal point for this 1968 survey, showing the Ohio riverfront as it appeared before major modern industrial shifts. The city's dense grid, complete with landmarks like Notre Dame and Greenlawn Cem, transitions into the industrial corridor of New Boston and across the Ohio River to South Shore, Kentucky. This cross-river relationship is physically anchored by the U S Grant Bridge and the extensive rail infrastructure of the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio lines.
