1986 Map of Dayton

About this map

The Great Miami River and its major tributaries, including the Stillwater River and Mad River, anchor this mid-1980s look at the urban and rural corridors connecting Southwest Ohio and East-Central Indiana. The landscape is defined by the strategic water management systems of the Miami Conservancy District, featuring critical infrastructure like the Englewood Reservoir and Germantown Reservoir. While the industrial centers of Dayton and Middletown show significant development, the western portions of the sheet remain largely agricultural, dotted with smaller hubs such as Eaton and the academic grounds of Miami University in Oxford.
