About this map

Laughery Creek and the Ohio River define the northern and eastern reaches of this topographic study, where the borders of Dearborn, Ohio, and Switzerland counties converge. The interior is a dissected landscape of ridges including Poorhouse Hill and Stewart Ridge, which shaped the placement of rural roads and small 1960s farming communities.

Settlement patterns are anchored by local institutions such as Salem Ch, Mt Pleasant Ch, and Grants Creek Ch. Educational and family history is preserved through sites like the Cass Union Sch and family-named burial grounds including Bovard Cem and Grant Brothers Cem. The inclusion of a Boat Ramp on the Ohio River near Mile 505 reflects the river's ongoing role in regional navigation and recreation during the mid-20th century.
