About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central artery for this 2013 survey, dividing the dense urban neighborhoods of Cincinnati from the hills of Northern Kentucky. On the northern bank, the map documents the historical layout of Over-The-Rhine and the public housing complexes of Laurel Homes and Lincoln Court. The riverfront is defined by a series of iconic crossings, including the John A Roebling Bridge and the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge, which link the industrial corridors of Sedamsville and Storrs to the Kentucky side.

Further west, the Anderson Ferry continues its traditional service across the water. Significant genealogical resources are scattered throughout the landscape, from the sprawling Saint Josephs Cem and Potters Field in Price Hill to the Holy Guardian Angels Cem further south. The map also captures the complex transportation infrastructure of the era, such as the Western Hills Viaduct and West Eighth Street Viaduct, which navigate the valley floor between Mount Harrison and the city core.
