About this map

The Ohio River and Miami River converge in a complex hydrographic landscape at the borders of Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. This area, surveyed by R.L. Harrison and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, shows a dense concentration of early 20th-century transport infrastructure. Heavy rail corridors like the B and O RR and the C C C and St L RR intersect at Valley Junction, while the presence of the Electric RR and the Cincinnati And Harrison Road highlights the transition from horse-drawn routes to modern transit.

Local settlements such as Hooven, Cleves, and Petersburg are surrounded by significant terrain features like Fort Hill and Mt Nebo. Rural life is documented through numerous district schools, including Whitewater School and Garrison Sch, while river-dependent commerce is evidenced by Garrison Landing. The map captures the engineered connectivity of the tri-state area with the Suspension Bridge and Lost Bridge spanning the local waterways.
