1953 Map of Goshen

About this map

The northern reaches of Clermont County in the early 1950s were defined by a collection of farming hamlets and small crossroads settlements like Goshen, Springvale, and Mt Repose. The landscape is etched by the intricate drainage systems of O'Bannon Creek and the East Fork Little Miami River, where the deep valleys of Stonelick Creek and Lick Fork contrast with the level uplands of Miami and Goshen townships. The local road network, including Deerfield Road and Woodville Pike, connects these rural communities to specialized landmarks like the Covered Bridge near St Philomena Ch and the Fairground at Owensville. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for locating family-named cemeteries such as Mt Zion Cem, Olive Cem, and Rapps Cem that anchor these historical neighborhoods. Transport and infrastructure are represented by the Norfolk and Western rail line skirting the southwestern edge through Perintown.
