1960 Map of Addyston

About this map

The Ohio River and Great Miami River define this river-valley landscape where the suburbs of Cincinnati meet the industrial and agricultural corridors of the mid-20th century. In the south, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad trace the riverfront through Addyston and North Bend, serving a region defined by its rail-and-water transport networks. Residential growth is evident in Bridgetown and Cheviot, while more traditional community anchors like Willsey Cem, Mt Hope Ch, and Township Sch remain scattered across the rolling terrain of Colerain and Whitewater. The landscape transitions from the dense urban expansion near Miamitown to the expansive Miami Whitewater Forest. Distinctive era landmarks such as the Drive-in Theater near Dent and numerous Gravel Pits along the riverbanks highlight the local recreation and resource extraction of the 1950s and 60s.
