1982 Map of Addyston

About this map

The Great Miami River and Ohio River converge at the southwestern edge of this 1982 map, defining a landscape of steep river bluffs and fertile bottomlands. These river corridors have long shaped the settlement of Hamilton County, visible here in the dense arrangement of communities like Addyston, Cleves, and North Bend. The industrial and transit heritage of the region is evident through the Chessie System tracks hugging the riverbank and the numerous Gravel Pits and quarries dotting the valley floor. To the north, Miamitown remains a central node where the river meets early road networks, flanked by the Miamitown Airport and the Miami Whitewater Forest. The interior terrain is a network of ridges and creeks, such as Buffalo Ridge and Taylor Creek, where suburban growth from Cincinnati pushes westward into Bridgetown and Mack. Local history is preserved in landmarks like the Miamitown Cem and schools such as Diamond Oaks Voc Sch.
