1961 Map of Madeira

About this map

The Little Miami River and its East Fork define this suburban landscape, where the established rail corridors of the Penn Central and Norfolk and Western railroads bisect residential expansion. By the early 1970s, many distinct communities such as Madeira, Montgomery, and Mariemont show dense residential street grids, while family names and land use persist in features like Jones Farm and the Terrace Park Country Club. The map documents a significant concentration of local heritage sites, including the United Cem near Hopewell Ch and the Sacred Heart Novitiate in Milford. Extensive gravel extraction is visible along the riverbanks near Ancor and Camp Dennison, marking the industrial footprint of the river valley alongside emerging housing developments like Fairwind Acres and Summerside Estates.
