About this map

The Ohio River marks the central divide of this landscape, defining the border between Kentucky and Ohio as it winds past the established riverfront at Maysville. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges, where small settlements like Bradysville and Evertonville sit tucked among the hills. Along the Kentucky side, civic and industrial life is evidenced by the County Home and the J M Stuart Power Plant, while the interior remains deeply tied to its rural roots through numerous small congregation sites such as Ravenscroft Chapel and Sulphur Springs Ch.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through several remote burial grounds, including Ellis Grove Cem and Bradford Cem. The mapping reflects a mix of traditional agriculture and late-century infrastructure, with the purple revisions highlighting the growth of the power plant and changes in the river’s shoreline. From the heights of Paradise Hills to the winding course of Threemile Creek, the map preserves the mid-to-late 20th-century character of these river-valley communities.
