1960 Map of College Corner

About this map

College Corner straddles the state line in this 1960 field-checked survey, serving as a hub where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad cuts diagonally across the rural landscape. The map reveals a high concentration of water features that defined the local geography, including Four Mile Creek and Indian Creek, while the northeastern corner is dominated by the recreational waters of Acton Lake within Hueston Woods State Park. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies small clusters like West College Corner and Cottage Grove, alongside several rural burial sites such as Keiffer Cem and Bethlehem Cem. The southern edge captures the fringes of Oxford, including the Miami University Airfield and a Golf Course, reflecting the institutional expansion into the surrounding agricultural land of Bath and Oxford townships.
