About this map

The Miami River corridor defines the western edge of this mid-1950s landscape, while the community of Greenhills anchors the southeastern corner. This survey highlights a period of suburban transition in Butler and Hamilton Counties, where residential expansion begins to push into traditional farmland. Significant institutional landmarks such as St Francis Seminary and the County Experimental Farms occupy large tracts of land between the growing settlements of Fairfield and Pleasant Run.

Transport and recreation are central to the area's character, shown through the Baltimore and Ohio rail line and the developing Winton Woods recreation area, including Winton Lake and the Winton Woods Golf Course. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several small burial grounds like Slaneker Cem and Huston Cem, as well as neighborhood institutions like Washington Jr High Sch and St Ann Sch in Lindenwald.
