1966 Map of Dayton South

About this map

The Great Miami River valley serves as the primary industrial and transport corridor for Montgomery County, anchoring a mid-century landscape of rapid suburban expansion. Centered on Dayton, the map illustrates a transition from the dense urban institutional core, featuring the University of Dayton and the Dayton State Hospital, to the residential developments of Oakwood and Kettering. The riverside is dominated by infrastructure, from the Moraine Air Park to the large-scale sewage disposal facilities, while the hilly interior provides space for landmarks like the Patterson Mem Homestead and the Carillon Tower.
