1961 Map of Burlington

About this map

Greater Cincinnati Airport dominates the central plateau of this northern Kentucky landscape, serving as a mid-century focal point between the established settlement of Burlington and the Ohio River. The transition from agrarian roots to suburban aviation hub is evident, with traditional family burial sites like Watts Cem and Hebron Cem remaining near the expanding airport infrastructure. Along the northern border, the Ohio River facilitates heavy transport via the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and Penn Central tracks, while the historic Anderson Ferry continues to link the riverbanks. The map documents several educational and religious institutions, including the Seminary of Pius X and Immaculate Heart of Mary Sch, reflecting the community's mid-century growth. To the southeast, the Latonia Racetrack and Florence represent the early expansion of the Cincinnati metropolitan area into Boone County.
