About this map

Ohio River landings and steep-walled hollows dominate this riverine landscape at the turn of the 21st century. The riverfront is a series of historically significant transfer points, including Stone Chimney Landing, Wyckoffs Landing, Shamrock Landing, and Bradfords Landing, situated near Dam Number 32. These features reflect a legacy of river-based commerce and transportation along the southern border of Ohio. Inland, the terrain rises into ridges such as Blackburn Ridge, where family and community history is preserved in sites like Manchester Cemetery and Step Church Cemetery.

The settlement of Buena Vista sits at the confluence of Twin Creek and the river, marking a point where the local road network, including California Rd and Tram Rd, converges. To the north, the landscape is defined by its deep drainages and named topographic features such as Silver Mine Hollow and Cabbage Patch Hollow. The presence of the Twin Creek Lookout Tower suggests the elevation and vantage points provided by the high ground overlooking the Churn Creek Reservoir.
