About this map

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base dominates the landscape at the confluence of Greene and Montgomery counties, illustrating the profound influence of aviation history on this region of Ohio. This survey details the urban expansion of Fairborn and Huber Heights, while highlighting the preserved grounds of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park near Hebble Cr. The map shows a transition from historical agricultural roots, marked by small family and community burial grounds like Gerlaugh Cemetery and Aley Cemetery, to modern institutional developments.

Industrial and educational landmarks are prominent, including the Wright State University-Main Campus and the Air Force Institute of Technology. Water management features such as Huffman Reservoir and Rohrers Island on the Mad River contrast with mid-century roadside culture represented by the Skyborn Drive-In. From the planned residential blocks of Beverly Gardens to the outlying Sulphur Grove, the map captures the dense infrastructure supporting one of the nation's most significant aeronautical hubs.
