About this map

Twin Creek and its many tributaries carve through the heart of Preble County, shaping a landscape defined by its agricultural roots and early transport corridors. This 1961 record, updated in the mid-1970s, highlights the village of Lewisburg at a crossroads of the Penn Central railroad and the National Road. The grid of early roads like Winnerline Road and Lewisburg Road connects small rural clusters such as Brennersville, Pyrmont, and New Lexington.

Evidence of local industry and community life appears in the scattered Quarry sites and a Sand and Gravel Pit near the village edges. For those tracing local genealogy or land use, the map provides precise locations for the Sugar Grove Cemetery and Roselawn Cem, alongside the complex network of creeks including Bantas Creek, Swamp Creek, and Millers Fork that once dictated the placement of pioneer homesteads and mills.
