2013 Map of Glendale

About this map

The boundary between Butler and Hamilton Counties divides a landscape defined by significant suburban development and established residential enclaves north of Cincinnati. Glendale and Springdale anchor the southwestern portion of the sheet, while Sharonville and Blue Ash occupy the southeast. The natural geography is centered on the drainage of Mill Creek and its various branches, including the East Fork Mill Creek, which wind through industrial corridors and parks. The large recreational expanse of Sharon Woods, featuring Sharon Lake, serves as a prominent green space amidst the grid of major thoroughfares like Princeton Glendale Road and East Kemper Road. Smaller, historic place names such as Port Union, Rialto, and Gano persist in the margins of newer developments like Westchester and Circle View Acres. Educational institutions, including the Art Institute of Cincinnati, reflect the area's modern identity, while numerous cemeteries like Oak Hill and Stockton provide a link to the region's earlier heritage.
