1961 Map of Burlington

About this map

The Ohio River forms a wide, sweeping bend that separates the suburban development of Cincinnati from the expanding infrastructure of Boone County. The landscape is defined by the massive footprint of the Greater Cincinnati Airport, which occupies a significant plateau above the river. Transportation networks converge here, with the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads following the riverbank and the historic Anderson Ferry providing a river crossing near Constance. In the southern portion of the map, the transition from rural to suburban is evident in the layout of Florence and Burlington, where schools like Conner High Sch and Boone County High Sch serve the growing population. Local community life is anchored by landmarks such as the Fairgrounds and the Latonia Racetrack, while older genealogy-rich features like Garnet Cem and Hopeful Church remain preserved amidst the mid-century expansion.
