• The map locates two ferry crossings on the Ohio River, and it shows work in progress on the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, originally known as the Cincinnati-Covington Bridge. When the bridge opened in 1866, three years after this map was printed, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world.
