1961 Map of Covington

About this map

The Ohio River valley and its surrounding hillsides define this landscape at the intersection of Northern Kentucky and Southern Ohio during a period of significant suburban expansion. Urban density in Cincinnati and Covington gives way to growing hilltop communities such as Price Hill, Lookout Heights, and Lakeside Park. The map documents the intricate transportation networks of the era, including the Baltimore and Ohio and Southern railroads alongside the emerging interstate highway system.
