2022 Map of Maysville East

About this map

The Ohio River carves a sweeping arc through this borderlands landscape, separating Maysville and Aberdeen while defining the rugged terrain of northern Kentucky and southern Ohio. The map captures a complex network of ridges and hollows, where family history is preserved in small upland burial grounds like Hiett Chapel Cem and Ebenezer Churchyard Cem. Small settlements such as Slickaway, Ellsberry, and Bradysville anchor the rural road system, connected by historic routes like Clayton Pike and Old State Rd. Along the riverbank, hydrological features like Brooks Bar and The Sand Fills reflect the shifting depositional nature of the waterway. Land use is dictated by the steep topography of Blooming Ridge and Ginger Ridge, where creek beds like Big Threemile Cr and Eagle Creek have historically guided movement through the valleys.
