About this map

Ohio River landings and interior Kentucky knobs define this 1960 landscape along the border of Harrison and Meade counties. The riverfront is characterized by significant river-based transport points such as Cedar Farm Landing and Brown Landing, while the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks parallel the water’s edge. The interior is dotted with small rural communities like Rock Haven and the curiously named Lickskillet, along with numerous family cemeteries including Stephens Cem and Garnettsville Cem that provide valuable genealogical clues.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident through the Doe Run Gas Storage Field and the sprawling Otter Creek Park. The park area includes Camp Piomingo and landmarks like The Blue Hole along the winding banks of Otter Creek. Further south, the map captures the transition into the Fort Knox Military Reservation, showing the interaction between public lands and federal territory during the mid-century era.
