1960 Map of Fayette

About this map

The East Fork Little Miami River carves through the landscape of the Virginia Military District, anchoring a rural community centered on Fayetteville and Saint Martin. This 1960s survey, updated in the mid-1970s, captures a network of small settlements such as Vera Cruz, Chasetown, and Kirbyville linked by an Old Railroad Grade. To the east, the Ursuline School For Girls and the nearby Saint Martin Church serve as significant local landmarks alongside several family-named burial grounds like Kramer Cem and Engle Cem. The expansion of the Indian Creek Wildlife Area and the presence of Diekbrader Lake reflect the shifting land use from strictly agricultural toward conservation and managed recreation. The intricate boundary of the Clermont and Brown County line snakes through the western portion of the map, illustrating the irregular surveying characteristic of this historic district.
