1952 Map of Worthville

About this map

The Kentucky River carves a deep, winding path through this northern Kentucky landscape, defining the borders where Carroll, Henry, and Owen Counties meet. At the confluence of Eagle Creek, the town of Worthville sits at a vital transportation juncture, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks parallel the water. This 1950s survey captures a rural river-valley economy transitioning into the mid-century, with scattered settlements like Port Royal and Moxley connected by narrow ridge roads and creek-bottom lanes.
