About this map

The Great Miami River anchors this landscape, its course marked by industrial and community landmarks including the O H Hutchings Station Dam and the Chautauqua Dam. The river valley connects several distinct settlements, from Franklin and Carlisle to the northern residential outskirts of North Middletown. For local history researchers, the map provides a clear record of established community infrastructure, including the Miami University Middletown Branch and several family-named burial grounds like Stettler Cemetery and Swartzel Cemetery.

Transportation and recreation are visible throughout the quadrangle, with Hummel Airport serving the area near Sunbury and Camp Hook located along the winding banks of Twin Creek. The suburban growth of the early 21st century is evident in the residential developments of Rickard Acres and Upper Arlington, while the Franklin Post Office and Franklin Golf Course mark the central civic and leisure hubs of the riverfront community.
