About this map

Maysville and Aberdeen anchor this riverfront survey, positioned on opposite banks where the Ohio River cuts through deep valleys and high limestone ridges. The landscape is defined by the steep relief of Howard Ridge and Porter Ridge, which frame the winding path of Eagle Creek to the north. In Kentucky, the transportation network of the early 1960s is visible through the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway corridor and the emergence of suburban developments like Country Club Heights.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate several small rural landmarks, including the Fitchs Chapel Cem and Lawrence Creek Ch. A notable archaeological feature, an Indian Mound, is recorded near the riverbank north of the main settlement. The map also captures the early industrial footprint of the region with the Tailings Pond and Substation facilities near the water, contrasting with recreational areas like the Golf Course and Wald Park.
