About this map

The Great Miami River valley serves as the central artery for this densely developed corridor, where the boundaries of Montgomery, Warren, and Butler counties converge. Industrial and residential growth is anchored by the historic river towns of Franklin and Middletown, which are connected by heavy rail lines including the Norfolk Southern. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern expansion of suburban communities such as Carlisle and Springboro while preserving older landmarks like the Hummel Airport and Southwestern Coll.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant data in the numerous burial grounds documented, from the Stettler Cem in the north to Wood Hill Cem overlooking the river valley. The landscape is marked by unique water features like the Hutchins Station Reservoir and Chautauqua Reservoir, alongside educational institutions such as Miami University-Middletown, reflecting the area's continued evolution as a regional hub of education and transit.
