About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley through this borderland between Maysville, Kentucky, and Aberdeen, Ohio, in a 1961 survey revised with 1974 aerial data. The map documents a landscape defined by the river’s commerce and the steep, ridge-and-hollow topography of the Huntington district. The historic river towns of Ripley and South Ripley sit at the northern bend, while the industrial and residential growth of Maysville expands along the southern bank.

Genealogists will find significant local landmarks including Maplewood Cem and the Lawrence Creek Ch, alongside family-named terrain like Howard Ridge and Porter Ridge. Significant cultural history is preserved in the form of an Indian Mound near Three Mile Creek and the long-standing infrastructure of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad which follows the Kentucky shoreline. The 1970s updates specifically highlight the expansion of Country Club Heights and the growth of urban areas in purple tint.
