About this map

The Great Miami River anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, separating the township of Ross from the burgeoning industrial and residential districts of Hamilton and Fairfield. By the mid-1960s, the area reflects a complex transition from riverfront operations, evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and a Filtration Plant, to suburban expansion. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, including the Hamilton Airport and the rail corridors of the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Baltimore and Western RR.

Significant community institutions are scattered throughout the quadrangle, from St Francis Seminary and Sacred Heart Sch to the expansive recreational grounds of Winton Woods and Joyce Park. Smaller settlements like New Burlington, Dunlap, and Bevis maintain their identity amidst the growing footprints of Greenhills and Springdale. The map also preserves the locations of local landmarks such as the Missionary Ch and the Radio Tower Police Sta, providing a detailed look at the social and civic geography of the period.
