Cincinnati Map Art

Cincinnati's street grid tilts 45 degrees off true north, following the curve of the Ohio River as it bends sharply around the downtown peninsula. The river creates a dramatic hairpin turn, with the city wedged into the concave bank, while residential hills rise steeply to the north—the topography visible as radiating ridgelines and contour-following streets. Mill Creek runs north-south through the center, historically dividing the city into eastern and western halves.
