About this map

The Ohio River serves as the central artery and state boundary in this 2016 survey, dividing Maysville, Kentucky, from Ripley and Aberdeen, Ohio. The riverfront is anchored by the Simon Kenton Memorial Bridge, a vital connection between Mason and Brown counties. The landscape transitions from the river's floodplains to the high elevations of Jersey Ridge and Tuckahoe Ridge, where the terrain is punctuated by small settlements like Moranburg and Hestoria.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-documented burial sites across both states, including Charter Oak Cem in Aberdeen and the Howard Ridge Cem north of the river. The Kentucky side shows modern development around the Maysville Community and Technical Coll, while the Ohio side remains characterized by named ridges and hollows, such as Porter Hollow and Ghost Hollow, illustrating the persistent rural geography of the region.
