About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley through the borderlands of Ohio and Kentucky, separating the riverfront villages of Moscow, Neville, and Chilo from their southern neighbors like Foster and Bradford. This landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with steep ravines such as Opossum Hollow and high ground like Fruit Ridge rising quickly from the water's edge. The settlement pattern reflects the area's river-dependent history, where small hamlets are clustered at the mouths of tributaries like Bear Cr and Maple Cr.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the uplands, including Old Calvary Cem, McKendree Cem, and the remote Eden Ridge Cem near Johnsville. The transportation network is anchored by the Mary Ingles Hwy on the Kentucky side and Us-52 in Ohio, tracing the ancient contours of the river valley. The map documents a rural corridor where narrow ridges and winding runs like Vinegar Run and Snag Cr continue to shape the limits of local development.
