About this map

The Ohio River valley serves as a bustling corridor of commerce and transport on this early 1980s survey, where the state lines of Ohio and Kentucky meet. The landscape is defined by the massive footprint of the Greater Cincinnati International Airport and the sprawling rail lines of the Baltimore and Ohio and Conrail systems. Along the river, historical river crossings like the Anderson Ferry remain active, linking Kentucky communities like Constance and Taylorsport to the industrial and residential districts of Cincinnati, including Sayler Park and Delhi.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the residential growth around Hebron and Burlington, as well as the preserved Col Abraham Depew Grave near Francisville. The map also captures the recreational and social hubs of the era, from the Latonia Racetrack and Fairgrounds to the Western Hills Country Club. Educational and religious institutions, such as St Aloysius Sch and the College of Mt St Joseph, are clearly marked among the winding suburban roads.
