1953 Map of Rome

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Ohio River defines the dramatic bend of the Indiana and Kentucky border, anchoring the riverfront settlements of Rome, Addison, and Stephensport in the early 1950s. On the Indiana shore, the Hoosier National Forest covers much of the high ground, characterized by the German Ridge and features like the German Ridge Lookout Tower. This survey documents a rural river economy prior to modern landscape changes, marking the location of Lock No 45 and various family-named landmarks such as Brashear Cem and Anspaugh Flats. Deep hollows like Helwig Hollow and Rickert Hollow cut through the ridges toward the riverbank, where Sinking Creek and Town Creek join the main flow. The map provides essential detail for genealogists, showing several small burial sites including Shoemaker Cem and Wegenast Cem, alongside the Tucker Sch in the Kentucky hills.
