1968 Map of Moscow

About this map

Ohio River life dominates this stretch of the border between Clermont County, Ohio, and its neighbors in Bracken and Pendleton counties, Kentucky. The massive Capt Anthony Meldahl Lock and Dam stands as a central industrial landmark, shifting the river levels between Normal Pool Elev 455 and Normal Pool Elev 485. Inland, the terrain is defined by the steep dissected plateaus of Fruit Ridge, where family-named roads like Myers Road and Bolender Road connect small upland communities. Genealogists can find numerous burial sites and rural congregations, including the Moscow Cem, Neville Cem, and McKendree Ch. Along the Kentucky shore, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor tracks the riverbank through settlements like Ivor and Carntown, while the Ohio side features established river towns like Moscow, Neville, and Chilo.
