About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central artery for this river-valley landscape, dividing the settlements of Ripley and Aberdeen at a transition point between the states of Ohio and Kentucky. The area is characterized by a high density of historical river landings, including Hamilton Landing, Stevensons Landing, and Phister's Landing, which point to a legacy of waterborne commerce and transport that preceded modern bridge infrastructure. On the Kentucky side, residential developments such as Simon Kenton Acres and Country Club Heights expand near the growing hub of Maysville West, while the Simon Kenton Memorial Bridge provides the primary highway link across the water.

Upland from the river, the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, such as Tuckahoe Ridge and Flaugher Ridge, interspersed with deeply carved valleys like Ghost Hollow and Porter Hollow. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including the Maplewood Cemetery, Charter Oak Cemetery, and the remote Martin Hill Cemetery, offering a detailed record of family settlements across the various districts and knobs of the river valley.
