1965 Map of Dayton North

About this map

The Great Miami River and Stillwater River converge at the heart of this urban-industrial landscape, where the northern expansion of Dayton meets suburban growth in the late twentieth century. Heavy infrastructure is evident throughout, from the massive Taylorsville Dam protecting the valley to the dense rail network of the Conrail and Baltimore and Ohio lines. Substantial purple-tinted revisions indicate the rapid post-war sprawl around Huber Heights and Vandalia, while established neighborhoods like Shiloh and Northridge maintain their grid. Genealogy interests are well-served by the presence of large memorial sites including Dayton Memorial Park (Mausoleum) (Cemetery) and Willow View Cemetery. The map also captures the cultural and institutional heart of the city through landmarks like the Dayton Art Institute and Good Samaritan Hospital.
