1957 Map of Washington

About this map

Washington serves as the hub of this Daviess County landscape, showing the city's mid-century expansion toward South Washington and Maysville. The era's transportation network is clearly defined by the Baltimore and Ohio Road and the Conrail line, which intersect near the industrial and commercial heart of the city. Beyond the urban grid, the map details a rural geography managed by the Hawes Ditch and Killion Canal, highlighting the drainage systems essential to this region bordering the White River.
