About this map

The confluence of the Great Miami River, Stillwater River, and Mad River anchors this 1960s-era study of northern Dayton. The landscape reflects a mid-century city in transition, where established neighborhoods like Fairview and Northridge meet expanding suburbs in Huber Heights and Murlin Heights. This period reveals a dense network of civic and religious institutions, including the United Theological Seminary and Good Samaritan Hospital, alongside many parochial schools like Our Lady of Mercy Ch.

Transportation infrastructure dominates the terrain, with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and Penn Central tracks weaving through industrial zones and past numerous gravel pits. The northern reaches show the protective footprint of the Miami Conservancy District Taylorsville Reserve, illustrating the region's long-standing focus on flood control. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Dayton Memorial Park and Shiloh Cem.
