About this map

The Ohio River divides the urban centers of Cincinnati and Covington in this early 1960s topographic survey, which documents the dense cultural landscape of the river valley. The map reveals a high concentration of religious and educational institutions, particularly on the Ohio side in Price Hill, where St Lawrence Sch, Seton High Sch, and the Cincinnati Bible Seminary are established. Extensive cemetery grounds like St Josephs Cemetery and Mother of God Cemetery highlight the region's long-settled character.

Transportation infrastructure defines the area's development, from the traditional Anderson Ferry crossing to the modern arrival of Interstate 75. On the Kentucky side, suburban expansion is evident in established communities like Fort Mitchell, Lakeside Park, and Park Hills. The proximity of the Baltimore and Ohio and Southern Ry tracks to the riverbanks illustrates the historical reliance on the water-and-rail corridor for industrial growth.
