*[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~moyer/Ohio-River-Maps/index.htm Ohio River Maps] Land grants were given to those that served in the Revolutionary War for their service pension. The Ohio River Valley became the new frontier for these settlers. Many choose to build their new homestead along the sides of the Ohio River. The river maps include insets of many small town maps - larger towns have their own maps. These maps maps identify wards, districts and townships and also include landowner and street names for the year 1877. The counties included in this website are: Hamilton, Clermont, Brown, Adams, Scioto, Lawrence, Gallia, Meigs, Athens, Washington, Monroe, Belmont, Jefferson, and Columbiana. | |||
