About this map

Twin Creek and its many tributaries, including Price Creek and Bantas Creek, define the topography of this Preble County landscape. In the early 1960s, the village of Lewisburg serves as the primary hub, where the New York Central railroad corridor intersects with the historic National Road. The map documents a predominantly agricultural region organized by the townships of Monroe, Harrison, Washington, and Twin.

Evidence of the area's geological and social history is visible in features like the northern Quarry and Wysong Falls. Smaller rural settlements such as Brennersville and New Lexington appear along established routes like the Lexington Road, while local heritage is preserved at Sugar Grove Cemetery and Roselawn Cem. The network of secondary ways, including Winnerline Road and Ozias Road, illustrates the late-century rural infrastructure before significant modern expansion.
