1955 Map of Dayton South
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The southern suburbs of Dayton and the agricultural lands of Washington township are caught in a moment of rapid postwar expansion. While the core of the city is densely developed around the Miami River and Mad River confluence, the southern periphery reveals the early layouts of Kettering and Moraine. This 1950s survey documents significant institutional footprints, from the University of Dayton and Dayton State Hospital to the large U S Military Reservation (Gentile Depot).
