About this map

The Great Miami River carves a broad valley through the northwestern portion of this 1965 survey, serving as a boundary for the St Clair and Ross townships. The landscape here is a study in post-war suburban transition, where long-established settlements like Symmes Corner and Pleasant Run are being integrated into the expanding corporate boundaries of Hamilton, Fairfield, and Springdale. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling Winton Woods and Winton Lake, a significant recreational footprint near the planned community of Greenhills.

Educational and religious institutions are particularly dense, including St Francis Seminary and several parochial schools such as Sacred Heart Sch. Transportation networks of the Baltimore and Ohio Western and Norfolk and Western railroads intersect with burgeoning mid-century infrastructure, evidenced by the Hamilton Airport and the Drive-in Theater in Joyce Park. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Houston Cem and the small hamlets of Dunlap and Bevis.
