1961 Map of Madeira

About this map

The Little Miami River corridor serves as the primary geographical axis for this 1961 survey, documenting the transition of Hamilton and Clermont counties during a period of significant suburban expansion. The planned community of Mariemont and the village of Madeira anchor the western landscape, while the historic Camp Dennison area occupies the river valley to the east. The map captures a mix of established residential patterns and newer developments like Fairwind Acres and Summerside Estates. A notable cultural footprint is visible through numerous institutions, including the Sacred Heart Novitiate, St Gertrude Sch, and the Perin Drive-in Theater. Rail infrastructure, including the Baltimore and Ohio and lines that would later become Conrail, traces the river's path, highlighting the area's ongoing connection to traditional transportation networks even as modern highway interchanges begin to emerge.
