About this map

The Whitewater River and its varied forks dominate this landscape on the border of Ohio and Indiana, where the city of Harrison and its neighbor West Harrison straddle the state line. This 2019 survey documents a region defined by agricultural heritage and a dense network of country roads, such as Okeana Drewersburg Rd and Snow Hill Rd, which connect long-standing settlements like Sharptown and Macedonia. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Saint Johns Catholic Cem and the small Snow Cem located near Snow Hill.

Modern infrastructure, such as the Cincinnati West Airport, sits alongside topographic landmarks like Liebrook Hill and Harrison Hill. The map's detail is particularly useful for identifying the complex hydrography of the area, from the Dry Fork Whitewater River to smaller streams like Sater Run and Howard Cr. These waterways historically influenced the placement of early townships and transportation routes that continue to shape the borderlands of Hamilton and Dearborn counties today.
