1953 Map of New Richmond

About this map

The Ohio River defines this mid-century landscape, separating the riverfront commerce of New Richmond in Ohio from the rural hillsides of Campbell County, Kentucky. This 1953 survey, with revisions from 1972, documents a period of transition along the river corridor, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the Kentucky bank through Oneonta and past New Richmond Sta. Further inland, the topography is deeply dissected by drainage systems like Twelvemile Creek and Fourmile Creek. Small community hubs and agricultural settlements such as Persimmon Grove, Carthage, and Flagg Spring are marked by landmark institutions including the Sts Peter & Paul Sch and Twelvemile Ch. Significant genealogical data is present through numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Watkins Cem and Moreland Cem, located near the Bethel - New Richmond Road.
