2010 Map of Covington

About this map

The Ohio River and Licking River define the core of this metropolitan landscape, where the urban density of Covington and Cincinnati meets the rising hills of Northern Kentucky and Western Ohio. On the Ohio side, neighborhood identities are firmly established in areas like Over-The-Rhine, West Price Hill, and the industrial valley of South Fairmount. The map reveals a legacy of resource extraction along the river bluffs, evidenced by several sites such as the Bald Knob Quarry and Wilder Quarry. In Kentucky, the terrain is characterized by suburban development spanning Fort Mitchell, Lakeside Park, and Erlanger. A high concentration of institutional landmarks and burial grounds, including the historic Potters Field, Saint Josephs Cemetery, and Highland Cemetery, provides significant detail for local historians. The proximity of the Public Landing to the downtown core highlights the enduring relationship between these cities and their riverfront commerce.
