About this map

Batavia sits at the heart of this landscape, its development shaped by the winding course of the East Fork Little Miami River. By the mid-1960s, the area reflects a mix of established village centers and emerging infrastructure, including the County Airport and a prominent Sewage Disposal plant. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the waters of William H Harsha Lake, which dramatically changed the local topography and necessitated the establishment of East Fork State Park and the East Fork Tailwater State Wildlife Area.

Rural life is anchored by traditional community pillars such as Stonelick Valley Missionary Ch, St Bernandette Sch, and the Stonelick Cem. Transportation networks are well-defined, ranging from the tracks of the Norfolk and Western Railroad to local pikes like Clough Pike and Jackson Pike. Further out, local leisure and social hubs are evident at Camp Allyn and a Drive-in Theater near the village of Bantam.
