1914 Map of East Cincinnati

About this map

The Little Miami River and Ohio River define the industrial and residential geography of the eastern Cincinnati suburbs and Northern Kentucky in the early 20th century. This survey illustrates the dense rail infrastructure that fueled the region's growth, including the Pittsburgh Cincinnati Chicago & St Louis RR and the Norfolk and Western RR. Prominent social and civic institutions like the St Clare Convent, City Infirmary, and St Aloysius Orphan Asylum appear alongside early infrastructure projects like the Cincinnati Waterworks and the Observatory in Hyde Park. The map captures the distinct character of the riverfront, from the residential hills of Fort Thomas and Southgate to the burgeoning transit hubs of Madisonville and Milford. Extensive school house numbering and the presence of the Glenrose PO Mount Carmel Sta provide specific data points for those researching local family history.
