1935 Map of Springdale

About this map

The Ohio River dominates this mid-1930s landscape, serving as a vital artery for transportation and a political boundary between Ohio and Kentucky. Along its southern bank, Maysville stands as a primary hub, adjacent to the Fair Grounds and Dam 33. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the river's curve, passing through settlements like Springdale and Sand Hill. Further inland, the terrain is defined by a dense network of country schools and family-named hollows, illustrating a rural society organized around small communities like Tollesboro and Rectorville.
