About this map

Harrison and West Harrison straddle the state line where the Whitewater River and its varied tributaries define the landscape of southwestern Ohio and southeastern Indiana. This region exhibits a dense concentration of historical burial grounds, including the Saint Johns Catholic Cemetery, Woodlawn Cemetery, and the Harrison Hills Cemetery, providing significant data points for genealogical research. The river system is central to the area's geography, with the Dry Fork Whitewater River joined by smaller streams such as Pinhook Creek, Kolb Creek, and Sours Run.

Rural communities like Okeana, Sharptown, and Macedonia are linked by a network of local roads including State Line Rd and Drewersburg Rd. Notable landmarks include the Cincinnati West Airport and several localized water features like Souders Lake and the Bartmess Lake Dam. Topographical features such as Snow Hill and Liebrook Hill rise above the river valleys, marking the transition from agricultural plains to the more varied terrain of the Whitewater River basin.
