About this map

The Great Miami River flows along the western edge of this suburban and industrial corridor, marking the boundary between the rising hills of St Clair and the expanding residential cores of Hamilton and Fairfield. By the mid-1960s, the landscape shows a dense weave of post-war development and older rural institutions. Pockets of history remain at Huston Cem and scattered local schools like Fairview Sch and St Ann Sch.

Major transit arteries including the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads anchor the industrial sector near Symmes Corner and Fairplay. To the south, the planned character of Greenhills and Forest Park meets the recreational expanse of Winton Woods and Winton Lake. The presence of the Hamilton Airport and several drive-in theaters highlights the mid-century suburban shift before the major urban expansions noted in the mid-1970s revisions.
