2019 Map of Moscow

About this map

Moscow and Neville serve as primary riverside hubs along the north bank of the Ohio River, where the landscape quickly transitions into a dense network of ridges and hollows. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous waterways such as Little Indian Cr, Maple Cr, and Bear Cr, creating a topography that historically dictated the placement of upland settlements like Fruit Ridge. This 2019 survey documents a high density of rural burial grounds, including McKendree Cem and Vesper Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in this border region between Ohio and Kentucky. The transition from the riverfront at Willow Grove to the interior ridges near Johnsville illustrates the enduring settlement patterns of the river valley, where narrow road networks like Neville Penn Schoolhou Rd and Bert Reed Memorial Rd wind through the complex elevation of the Opossum Hollow area.
