2019 Map of Laurel

About this map

The Ohio River forms the southwestern boundary of this region, where the Kentucky and Ohio borders meet along the banks of Mentor and Point Pleasant. This landscape is defined by the deeply etched drainage systems of Twelvemile Cr and Big Indian Creek, which carve through the plateau to meet the river. The settlement pattern is largely rural and dispersed, anchored by historic community centers like Nicholsville, Lindale, and Laurel. Numerous small family and church burial grounds are scattered across the heights, including Laurel Cem, Nicholsville Cem, and Point Isabel Cem, reflecting generations of local residency. Notable landmarks such as Boober Airport and the complex network of country lanes like Frank Willis Memorial Rd and Clermontville Laurel Rd illustrate how modern infrastructure follows the traditional ridge-top and valley-floor routes of Clermont and Campbell counties.
