About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep arc between the bustling urban centers of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, creating a landscape defined by its river crossings and steep hillsides. Spanning the water, notable structures like the Daniel Beard Bridge and the L & N Pedestrian Bridge connect the Kentucky cities of Newport and Covington with their Ohio neighbors. The map reveals the extensive industrial and transport infrastructure of the region, including the Cincinnati Municipal Airport-Lunken Field situated within the river's plain at Turkey Bottom.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local history through the numerous burial sites and small settlements throughout the area. Long-established cemeteries like the Evergreen Cem Soldiers Lot and Pioneer Cem are documented alongside community hubs such as Fort Thomas and Highland Heights. The convergence of the Licking River and Little Miami River with the Ohio illustrates how the geography dictated the growth of neighborhoods from Mount Auburn to Silver Grove.
