About this map

The Greater Cincinnati Airport dominates the center of this Boone County landscape, its sprawling runways and infrastructure including a Radar Tower and Radio Tower. Located just south of the Ohio River, this area shows a mix of traditional Kentucky settlements and mid-century modern infrastructure development. The county seat of Burlington is situated in the southwest, featuring its Fairgrounds and the I O O F Cem.

Tracing the waterways like Gunpowder Creek and Woolper Creek reveals a network of family-named landmarks and historical sites. Numerous small burial grounds, such as Watts Cem, Garnet Cem, and Weaver Cem, are scattered across the terrain near established communities like Hebron, Florence, and Limaburg. In the north, the riverfront is marked by Taylorsport and Constance, illustrating the long-standing connection between these Kentucky hill towns and the river trade.
