This is another map drawn in 1888 which will help in locating the various streets and most of the railroad depots that were affected by the 1913 flood. There were many changes between 1888 and 1913 but this should give you a rough idea of locations.

The Penn. R. R. Depot above is the L. M. Depot on the map (Little Miami). The Big Four is the Grand Central Depot on the map.

Bridge
The Queen & Crescent was at West 8th St. & McClean Avenue (not on map.) The C. & O. bridge view would be the C. H. & D. Freight Depot (I think). The West End R. R. Yards could be the O. & M. Depot or it could be another view of the C. H. & D. railroad.

1913 FLOOD R. F. JOHNSTON PAINT CO.
The R. F. Johnston Paint Company at the corner of Pearl and Main Street obviously saw a possible gold mine of positive advertising of its product in this disaster occurring on its own premises. Written on the backs of a couple of them is the following: "The Mail, Telegraph and Transportation facilities of Cincinnati and vicinity have been greatly impaired by floods since March 25th. If there is an apparent delay in writing you, it is entirely due to this cause and not to inattention on our part". The Johnston Paint store covered an entire block with its warehouse across the street. The card in the center of the second row shows the company's employees filling orders from a boat to a horse cart.
