About this map

The East Fork Little Miami River carves a deep valley through this Clermont County landscape, anchored by the village of Batavia. By the mid-1990s, the southern reaches are dominated by the extensive waters of William H Harsha Lake and the recreational lands of East Fork State Park. The map reveals a suburbanizing character, with clusters of development at Amelia, Willowville, and Owensville connected by historical routes like Jackson Pike and Clough Pike.

Infrastructure for the modern era is evident at the County Airport and Sky Hills Airport, yet older communal landmarks remain, including Stonelick Cem and the Drive-in Theater near Bantam. Educational and religious centers like Amelia High Sch and St Bernadette Sch serve the growing population centers. The terrain is marked by numerous small drainages such as Backbone Creek and Possum Hollow, which transition from agricultural fields into the protected woodlands of Stonelick Valley State Park.
