About this map

The Great Miami River and Ohio River converge in this tri-state area, defining the industrial and recreational landscape of the mid-1990s. The confluence is a focal point for conservation and history, featuring the Great Miami River State Wildlife Area and Shawnee Lookout County Park, while the Harrison Tomb State Memorial near North Bend preserves the legacy of the ninth U.S. President.

Heavy industry and transport networks are deeply etched into the river valleys. The rail hub at Valley Junction and the Lawranceburg Junction indicate the region's importance as a freight corridor. Extensive extraction sites, marked by numerous Gravel Pits and a Conveyor system near Hooven, underscore the commercial value of the alluvial deposits. Settlement patterns follow the high ground and river terraces, with Harrison to the north and the residential development around Hidden Valley Lake to the west, separated by the deep incisions of Jamison Creek and Dry Fork.
