1986 Map of Cincinnati

About this map

The Ohio River serves as the focal point for this mid-1980s regional survey, where the borders of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky converge. The urban core of Cincinnati is depicted in dense detail, showing its expansion outward toward satellite communities like Hamilton and Middletown to the north and Covington and Newport across the river to the south. This era is characterized by a mature interstate system, featuring the I-275 beltway that rings the metropolitan area, connecting diverse landscapes from the industrialized riverfront to the growing suburbs of Clermont County.
