About this map

The Ohio River forms a wide, sweeping boundary between Kentucky and Ohio, serving as the focal point for riverbank commerce and industrial activity. Along its southern shore, the community of Maysville sits west of several named landings and river features, including Brooks Bar and the industrial Stuart Ash Pit Number 8 Dam. North across the water, the landscape rises into a network of creeks and ridges, where small settlements like Hiett, Clayton, and Evertonville are connected by rural routes such as Ripley Pike and Clayton Pike.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Ebenezer Churchyard to family-named burial grounds like Beasley Cemetery and Reader Cemetery. The inland terrain is defined by its drainage into the Ohio, with Big Threemile Creek and Brushy Fork Eagle Creek cutting through the topography. Distinctive landings such as Stone Quarry Landing and Kimballs Landing highlight the historic reliance on the river for transport and trade in Mason County.
