About this map

The Ohio River and Great Miami River converge in this tri-state border region, creating a complex landscape of fertile bottomlands and river bluffs. The river-driven economy is evident through numerous Gravel Pits and the heavy rail presence of Conrail, which services industrial points like Hooven and Valley Junction. This geography is shaped by water, from the recreation at Hidden Valley Lake and Long Island Beach to the protected expanses of Miami Whitewater Forest and the Great Miami River State Wildlife Area.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family landmarks and burial sites, including the Harrison Tomb State Memorial near North Bend. Significant burial grounds such as Sugar Ridge Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and Guard Cem are preserved among the hills. The map also documents 20th-century infrastructure, including a Weighing Station, Radio Tower installations, and the residential growth near Harrison and Greendale.
