About this map

Hanover College overlooks the Ohio River in this detailed study of the riverbank and surrounding uplands surveyed shortly before the 1940s. The landscape is defined by the steep bluffs and dramatic waterfalls of Clifty Falls State Park, where Clifty Creek and its tributaries carve deep into the terrain. Just north of Madison, the State Hospital and County Infirmary mark the social infrastructure of the era, while the Pennsylvania Railroad corridor traces the eastern edge of the sheet. Rural life is anchored by smaller settlements like Hanover and Saluda, connected by State Road No 62. The map provides significant genealogical value, documenting numerous burial grounds including Springdale Cem and Old Bethel Cem, alongside local landmarks like the Antioch Grange and New Prospect Ch.
