1944 Map of Washington

About this map

Washington serves as the industrial and transportation anchor for this part of Daviess County, centered at the intersection of the Baltimore and Ohio and New York Central railroads. The town’s grid is flanked by the Washington Water Works and a Golf Course, while surrounding smaller communities like Maysville and South Washington reveal the region's early 20th-century expansion. Along the western edge, the White River meanders through bottomlands, creating oxbows such as Swan Pond and Blue Hole Pond.
