About this map

Hawesville anchors this mid-century survey along the southern bend of the Ohio River, where the landscape transitions from industrial riverfront to the dissected uplands of Hancock County. The Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks parallel the riverbank, connecting the town to the rural communities of Adair and Petri. The interior hills are marked by the presence of strip mines, reflecting the extraction economy that shaped local land use alongside traditional farming.
