Cities of Ohio
Ohio lies in the midwestern United States, south of Lake Erie and bordered by the Ohio River to the south. The city of Columbus is both the capital and the largest city in the state, sitting in the heart of Ohio. On this map you fly past real cities like Columbus, Cleveland on Lake Erie, Cincinnati in the south, and industrial cities such as Toledo, Akron and Dayton. You will also see rivers like the Cuyahoga River, the Scioto River and the Maumee River, and Campbell Hill — the highest point in the state — in an otherwise fairly flat landscape. Hop in the helicopter and explore Ohio at your own pace. It is a fun, free way for kids and grown-ups to learn to place the cities and rivers of this midwestern state.
