About this map

The U S Government Reservation (Voice of America) and its sprawling complex of radio towers dominates the northwestern portion of this mid-1950s survey. This landscape at the intersection of Butler, Warren, Hamilton, and Clermont counties is a mix of developing suburbs and established rural villages. The Little Miami River carves a deep valley along the eastern boundary, serving as a corridor for the Pennsylvania railroad and supporting industrial sites like Kings Mills.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including Rose Hill Cem, Union Cem, and the large Gate of Heaven Cemetery. Education and local community life are anchored by the High Point School and the Cincinnati Association for the Blind. Settlement patterns are traced through historic stops such as Sixteen Mile Stand, Twenty Mile Stand, and the established centers of Mason and Loveland.
