Follow these links for examples of Precinct and Village maps. Each map includes many 19th century features such as: * toll roads, railroads and canals * post offices and government sites * schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries * rivers, streams and ferries * race tracks, fair grounds and picnic groves * industrial sites, furnaces and mills * early property ownership, homesteads and farms * -and much, much more The abridged Atlas of Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties, Kentucky may be an invaluable aid to Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century northern Kentucky places and place names. These early maps often contain many places that no longer exist or that have been obscured over time; the location of property owners, businesses, churches and cemeteries may assist genealogical researchers interested in Kentucky history.
