About this map

Agricultural patterns and small-town growth characterize this portion of Montgomery and Preble Counties during the early 1960s. The village of Brookville serves as the central hub, situated along the Penn Central rail line and the newly established Interstate 70 corridor. The landscape is dotted with small rural communities and historic gathering places like Arlington, Pyrmont, and Bachman.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the distribution of country churches and burying grounds, including the Pleasant Hill Cem and Shiloh Ch. The hydrology of the region is defined by the headwaters of Wolf Creek and its many tributaries such as Razor Run and Toms Run. Notable local landmarks like Basor Airport and Kreitzer Corner provide specific points of interest for local history researchers tracking the mid-century development of these Ohio townships.
