This may open your eyes a bit:

This appears to be a googlized mashup of the same data:

One thing that doesn't show up on any map to my knowledge is how, on
certain days of the year, a warm gentle south westerly breeze will carry
a "unique" aromatic flavor up from the trash dump / rendering plant /
stagnant Scioto River (of whatever the hell the source is).  I'd hate
for you spend April closing a real estate deal on a great roomy house in
a clean and tidy neighborhood, only to discover in late July you'd
really like to trade up to some hovel next to a pig farm.

I can't tell you the exact boundries of the affected area, but be wary
of any responses to this post that include the phrase "It's really not
all that bad..."
