Summary edit

Description

Detail of "Atlas of the City of Louisville," published in 1876 by the Louisville Abstract and Loan Association. The "old locks" refers to the original 1830 locks, with three 190x50 foot chambers. The "new locks" refers to the 1872 Scowden locks, with two 350x80 foot chambers. (The map maker erroneously drew both locks as having roughly the same width, but this map was not used for navigation.) It can be seen that the Kentucky Chute, future site of the hydroelectric plant, passed between Shippingport and Rock Island. The Middle Chute passed between Rock and Goose Islands and the Indiana Chute passed between Goose Island and the Indiana bank. The "proposed bridge" below Sand Island would be the first K&I Bridge, built in 1886. The large numbers refer to more detailed maps which I have never seen.
