2010 Map of College Corner

About this map

College Corner and its counterpart West College Corner sit at the nexus of the Ohio-Indiana border, anchoring a landscape defined by the intricate drainage of Indian Creek and Four Mile Creek. This rural corridor is notable for its concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the College Corner Cemetery, Keiffer Cemetery, and Crawfords Cemetery, which offer valuable coordinates for genealogists tracing local lineage. The topography is shaped by numerous small tributaries like Brandywine Creek, Union Creek, and Squaw Run, which carve through the farmland near settlements such as Charlottesville and Contreras. To the east, the waters of Acton Lake mark the edge of a recreational area featuring several named picnic grounds, while the south reveals the proximity of Oxford and the Miami University Airport. The map documents a traditional Midwestern township structure, where old school sites or crossroads settlements like Cottage Grove are connected by a network of named local roads and pikes.
