About this map

The Ohio River corridor serves as the industrial and cultural spine of this mid-1980s tri-state survey, where the borders of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky converge. In the heart of Cincinnati, landmarks like Union Terminal and Riverfront Stadium anchor the urban landscape, while the sprawling grounds of Spring Grove Cem and Vine Street Hill Cem provide significant records for genealogical research. The map illustrates a dense network of transit and education, capturing the campuses of the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University alongside major rail lines including the B&O RR and L&N RR.

Beyond the city core, the landscape transitions into the river valleys of the Great Miami River and Little Miami River. Significant recreational and conservation areas such as Shawnee Lookout and Miami Whitewater Forest are clearly delineated, showing the preservation of the region's diverse terrain. To the east, the East Fork Little Miami River feeds into the expansive East Fork Lake, marking a distinct shift from the suburban density of Fairfield and Mason to the more open geography of Clermont County.
