About this map

The U S Reservation Voice of America facility dominates the northwestern quadrant of this landscape, a significant landmark during the Cold War era. This portion of southwest Ohio shows a region in transition as suburban development from Sharonville and Montgomery pushes northward toward the established community of Mason. The map preserves the historic nomenclature of stagecoach stops and early settlements along major thoroughfares, most notably Sixteen Mile Stand and Twenty Mile Stand.

Industry and recreation are concentrated along the Little Miami River corridor, where Kings Mills and Foster sit near the Conrail and Baltimore And Ohio rail lines. Family history and local heritage are marked by several small burial grounds, including Rose Hill Cem and the extensive Gate of Heaven Cemetery. From the Drive-in Theater in Deerfield to the girls' camp at Camp Butterworth, the map documents the mid-century social and physical infrastructure of Warren and Hamilton counties.
