1953 Map of Tell City

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Ohio River bend dominates this mid-century portrait of the border between Kentucky and Indiana, where river traffic and rail infrastructure converge at Hawesville. The landscape transitions from the broad floodplains of Muddy Gut to the dissected uplands of Hancock County, characterized by the winding valleys of Lead Creek and the North Fork Yellow Creek. Evidence of local industry is clear in the south, where Strip Mines are carved into the hillsides near Butchers Branch and Driskell Branch.
