About this map

Industrial corridors and dense residential expansion characterize this portion of Cincinnati during the mid-twentieth century. The valley of Mill Creek serves as a primary transit artery, hosting the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads alongside Interstate 75. This transport network anchors established manufacturing centers like Lockland and Reading, while surrounding hillsides saw the growth of communities such as Amberley and Kenwood.

Genealogists can find numerous institutions including St Marys Cemetery and Beech Grove Cem, alongside a network of parish schools like St Simons Sch and St James Sch. The landscape is a mix of urban density and recreational spaces, from the sprawling Kenwood Country Club to the public grounds of French Park and Ault Park. The map also captures significant educational landmarks like Woodward High Sch and the Withrow High Sch campus.
