About this map

The dense industrial and residential fabric of Carthage, Elmwood Place, and Ivorydale dominates the western portion of this 1961 revision. This landscape is defined by the heavy rail corridors of the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Pennsylvania RR, which spurred the growth of surrounding communities like Lockland and Norwood Heights. The map reveals a post-war suburban shift, with residential developments such as Sagamore Heights and Rolling Knolls Estates appearing alongside established enclaves like Amberley and Wyoming.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous parish institutions, including St Marys Cemetery and the St Clare Convent, alongside public landmarks such as the University of Cincinnati Observatory in Mt Lookout. The transition from the urban core toward the Little Miami River is marked by expansive green spaces like Ault Park and several private clubs, including the Hyde Park Country Club, reflecting the area's mid-century social and economic geography.
