1981 Map of Covington

About this map

The Ohio River forms the central artery of this 1981 survey, separating the urban cores of Cincinnati and Covington. While the northern bank is dominated by the dense grid of downtown Cincinnati and neighborhoods like Price Hill and Delhi Hills, the Kentucky side reveals a landscape of rapidly expanding suburban communities including Villa Hills, Fort Wright, and Lakeside Park. The transportation network is a complex layering of era-defining infrastructure, from the historic Anderson Ferry to the massive interchanges of Dixie Hwy and the extensive rail corridors of the L & N RR and Conrail. Significant institutional landmarks are scattered throughout the hills, including Thomas More College, Villa Madonna Academy, and several major burial grounds like Highland Cemetery and St Josephs Cemetery, which provide stable reference points for genealogists tracing family roots in Kenton and Hamilton counties.
