About this map

Mill Creek and the East Fork carve through this landscape of mid-century industrial expansion and suburban growth along the Butler and Hamilton County line. The map captures a moment of intense transition where agricultural land in Union and Sycamore townships gives way to massive infrastructure projects. Significant industrial and military footprints dominate the central portion, notably the sprawling U S Reservation Sharonville Depot and the dense rail corridors of the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads.

Community life is anchored by established centers like Glendale and Springdale, alongside emerging commercial hubs like the Tri-County Shopping Center. For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for several educational and religious institutions, including St Ritae Sch and Bethany Sch, as well as resting places like Oak Hill Cemetery and Brookside Cem. This 1974 revision highlights the rapid urbanization of the era, from the established neighborhoods of Forest Park to the gravel pits and industrial zones of Evendale.
