1960 Map of Farmersville

About this map

The agricultural landscape of western Montgomery County and eastern Preble County is anchored by the rural villages of Farmersville and New Lebanon during the early 1960s. This survey details the complex network of country roads, including Halderman Road and Spitler Road, which connect isolated farmsteads and historic religious sites like Slifers Ch and St Johns Ch. A significant portion of the southeastern terrain is shaped by the Miami Conservancy District (Germantown Reserve), designed for flood control along Twin Creek. The topography reveals deep-seated history in the form of an Indian Mound overlooking Anthony Run, while more modern recreational and industrial landmarks appear at Camp Miami and the Airstrip. The New York Central rail line cuts across the northeast, facilitating the transport of goods from this fertile valley toward larger urban centers.
