1961 Map of Tell City

About this map

Tell City and Cannelton anchor this riverfront landscape at the intersection of Indiana and Kentucky industry during the early 1960s. The Ohio River dominates the geography, defining the border and supporting a complex infrastructure of transport and manufacturing, evidenced by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Southern line. In Indiana, the map shows Troy situated near the mouth of Crooked Creek, while across the water in Kentucky, Hawesville sits at the foot of the hills near Lead Creek.
