About this map

The Ohio River serves as the prominent divider on this map, separating the suburban reaches of Cincinnati, Ohio, from the rapidly growing communities of Boone County, Kentucky. On the northern bank, the residential neighborhoods of Sayler Park, Delhi, and Addyston sit atop the steep river bluffs, with the Delhi Coll of Mt St Joseph anchoring the local academic landscape. To the south, the expansive grounds of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport dominate the topography, illustrating the mid-20th-century shift toward large-scale infrastructure in this region.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find a high density of burial sites across this quadrangle, reflecting the area's deep settlement history. From the Old Burlington Cem and Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem in the south to the South Bend Baptist Cem and Peeno Cem further north, the map preserves the locations of numerous family and congregational landmarks. Transport connections like the Anderson Ferry and bridges linking Taylorsport and Constance highlight the enduring reliance on the river as both a barrier and a vital corridor.
