About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central artery and dividing line between the steep, developed hills of Cincinnati and the interconnected riverfront cities of Northern Kentucky. This 2019 survey documents a dense urban and suburban corridor defined by historic bridge crossings, including the iconic John A Roebling Bridge and the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge. The landscape is characterized by its dramatic elevation changes, from riverfront flats to prominent heights like Bald Knob and Brighton Hill.

Significant cultural sites are concentrated throughout the quadrangle, notably the William Howard Taft National Historic Site in Mount Adams. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed regarding burial grounds, showing large sites such as Saint Josephs Cem, Linden Grove Cem, and Mother of God Cem, along with the historically significant Potters Field. The transit network of Northern Kentucky is visible through the growth of communities like Villa Hills, Fort Wright, and Crescent Springs.
