About this map

Cincinnati and its western suburbs undergo a period of rapid post-war residential expansion, with many new subdivisions like Marlain Acres and Plantation Acres appearing near the established hillsides. The landscape is defined by the steep winding contours of Mt Airy Forest and the industrial activity focused along the Mill Creek corridor. Infrastructure development is evident in the complex interchanges near Ivorydale Junction and the growth of neighborhoods such as Northbrook and Finneytown.

Institutional landmarks are concentrated in the southern half of the sheet, including the University of Cincinnati and a dense network of hospitals like General Hospital. Religious and educational sites are numerous, ranging from the St Anthony Monastery to several historic burial grounds such as Baltimore Pike Cemetery and Wesleyan Cem. This map records the transition of the Between the Miamis region from semi-rural townships into a continuous suburban and urban landscape.
