1961 Map of Maysville East

About this map

The Ohio River dominates this mid-century survey, acting as both a natural boundary and a central artery between Ohio and Kentucky. In Mason County, the city of Maysville shows its riverfront development, including the Mertz Memorial Playground and the critical corridor of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. Across the water in the townships of Huntington and Sprigg, the landscape shifts to a network of steep ridges and creek valleys. This rural Ohio terrain is marked by historical nodes of community life, from small settlements like Clayton and Hiett to numerous local landmarks such as Ebenezer Ch and Hiett Chapel. The map reveals a dense distribution of family-named cemeteries, including Ellis Grove Cem and Beasley Cem, providing a detailed look at the settlement patterns that define the region's genealogical heritage.
