About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley between the hills of Mason County and Brown County, serving as the central artery for settlements like Ripley, Aberdeen, and South Ripley. This riverfront landscape is defined by its historic maritime access, evidenced by numerous riverfront sites including Hamilton Landing, Stevensons Landing, and Phister's Landing. The terrain on either side of the water is characterized by prominent ridges such as Tuckahoe Ridge and Flaugher Ridge, which overlook the winding paths of Eagle Cr and Lawrence Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, from the larger Charter Oak Cem near Huntington Park to the smaller Fitchs Chapel Cem tucked into the hollows. Modern growth is visible south of the river in residential areas like Simon Kenton Acres, Shawnee Hill, and Country Club Heights, which contrast with the more traditional settlement patterns of Moranburg and Hestoria. Infrastructure across the water is anchored by the Simon Kenton Memorial Bridge, connecting the Kentucky and Ohio banks.
