2019 Map of Cromwell

About this map

The Green River carves a massive, winding path through this portion of Ohio and Butler Counties, creating dramatic geographic features like Big Bend and Little Bend. This water-centric landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, including the meandering Thoroughfare Stream and the swampy reaches of Hurricane Slough. The settlement pattern follows the high ground above the river valley, with several distinct communities established along the road networks. Beaver Dam sits in the northwest corner, while the namesake village of Cromwell is positioned near the river crossing, south of Negro Hill. Local family history is preserved in numerous rural burial grounds such as Slaty Creek Cem and Whalen Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural uplands. The terrain is marked by numerous named rises, including Tilford Knob and Taylor Hill, illustrating the dissected topography typical of the region before it drops toward the river's edge.
