About this map

The East Fork Little Miami River carves a deep valley through this region of Clermont County, centered on the village of Batavia. In the mid-1960s, the landscape was undergoing a major transformation with the creation of William H Harsha Lake, which dramatically altered the drainage of Fourmile Run and Slabcamp Run. This transition from river valley to reservoir is caught mid-development, alongside the established settlements of Amelia and Willowville.

Social and historical markers like the County Home, the IOOF Cem, and the Stonelick Valley Missionary Ch reflect the community's long-standing roots. Evidence of earlier transportation networks remains visible in the Old Railroad Grade running through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Local aviation is represented by both the County Airport and the Sky Hills Airport, serving a population spread across townships like Pierce and Union.
