1955 Map of Miamisburg

About this map

The Miami River corridor south of Dayton defines the layout of this mid-century landscape, where industrial activity and residential expansion meet historic landmarks. The Miamisburg Mound State Memorial Park stands as a prominent feature within Miamisburg, a city served by the Baltimore and Ohio and New York Central railroads. The map records several small communities and residential developments like Whitfield, Frytown, and Ridgewood Heights during a period of suburban growth. To the north, the sprawling Veterans Administration Center and the Dayton Correction Farm occupy significant acreage, while local recreation is represented by the Dayton Speedway. Rural character persists in the west with numerous family cemeteries such as Trissel Cem and Forney Cem, alongside country congregations at St Peters Ch and Salem Churches along the banks of Bear Creek.
