1903 Map of Tell City

USGS Topo · Published 1917

About this map

The Ohio River forms a wide, sweeping bend that defines the border between Indiana and Kentucky at the turn of the century. On the Indiana shore, the established industrial town of Tell City and the neighboring community of Troy sit across from the Kentucky hills, connected by the river economy. The landscape is heavily dissected by drainage systems, with Lead Creek and Yellow Creek cutting through the Kentucky uplands, while Crooked Creek and Sandy Creek feed into the river from the north.
