1898 Map of East Cincinnati

About this map

The Ohio River and Little Miami River dominate this turn-of-the-century landscape, carving through Hamilton County where industrial expansion meets established suburban retreats. The density of infrastructure in Carthage and Norwood contrasts with the leisure and institutional sites along the riverbanks, most notably the Coney Island Resort and the Cincinnati Waterworks near California. This era shows a complex social landscape, with several major facilities such as the Longview Asylum, County Infirmary, and St Aloysius Waisenhaus clustered in the northern suburbs.
