About this map

The confluence of the Great Miami River, Mad River, and Wolf Creek shapes the urban layout of Dayton in the mid-1960s. This survey records a period of significant suburban expansion, where the red-tinted built-up areas push north toward Murlin Heights and east into Huber Heights. The landscape is a mix of dense municipal infrastructure and large institutional grounds, including the United Theological Seminary, Sinclair College, and the Dayton Art Institute.

Transport corridors like the Dixie Highway and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad connect the city core to outlying settlements such as Shiloh and Taylorsville. Notable for genealogists are the numerous family and community sites, from the sprawling Dayton Memorial Park to smaller landmarks like St Pauls Ch and Stonequarry Sch. The northern reaches are defined by the Miami Conservancy District Taylorsville Reserve, reflecting the region's long-standing water management history.
