About this map

Mill Creek and its surrounding valleys define the industrial and residential corridors of northern Hamilton County during a period of rapid suburban expansion. The map documents the dense network of infrastructure supporting growing communities like Glendale, Springdale, and Sharonville. The intersection of major transit lines is evident, with the Baltimore and Ohio RR and the Norfolk and Western Ry cutting through the landscape alongside emerging commercial hubs like the Tri-County Shopping Center.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the development of civic life through numerous institutions, including St Marys Sch, Princeton High Sch, and the Oak Hill Cemetery. The transition from rural to suburban is captured in the proximity of established landmarks like Glenview Golf Course and Sharon Woods Park to industrial features such as the U S Army Reserve Center and various Gravel Pits. Large tracts of woodland and open space are still visible near West Chester and Maud, providing a record of the area's footprint before the full enclosure of the late 20th-century urban sprawl.
