What's at the site is the Ridgeport Community Church, and it is labelled on the topos as "Ridgeport Ch" until the 2010-era redo of the maps, which seemingly not coincidentally is when a lot of errors show up (such as label drift and back-copying onto the maps from GNIS). In this case I was able to find this old county history which states, "Ridgeport is a hewed-log churchhouse on that ridge, west of the village of Cincinnati." And that is all it has to say. It has since been replaced by a modern generitarian building which continues to sit in isolation on the side of the road, so unless someone can find something else I think this one can be chalked up to questionable map reading.
