About this map

Mill Creek carves a path through the heart of this industrial and suburban corridor north of Cincinnati, where the legacy of early canal-era hamlets meets the rapid expansion of the mid-20th century. Old rail lines including the Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio define the orientation of settlements like Rialto and Port Union, while the massive footprint of the U. S. Army Reserve Center and various industrial plants near Sharonville signal the area's later economic transition.

Genealogists can find numerous community landmarks, from the Oak Hill Cemetery and Brookside Cem to parochial institutions such as the Glenmary Mission Sch and St Rita Sch. The landscape is a mix of heavy infrastructure, including several Gravel Pits and a Filtration Plant, and recreational spaces like Sharon Woods Park and Sharon Lake, which provide a contrast to the dense network of Interstate 75 and Interstate 275 interchanges.
