1955 Map of Miamisburg
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Great Miami River valley anchors this mid-century portrait of Montgomery County, where the industrial centers of Miamisburg and West Carrollton sit alongside ancient landmarks. The towering Miamisburg Mound State Memorial Park dominates the southern landscape, a contrast to the rapid post-war development seen in Ridgewood Heights and Drexel. To the northeast, the Veterans Administration Center and Dayton Correction Farm represent significant institutional land use just beyond the Dayton city boundary. The map traces a transitioning economy, with the Baltimore and Ohio and New York Central railroads threading through towns, while the Dayton Speedway and several television towers, including TV Tower (WHIO), signal the modern era. Rural Jefferson and Miami Townships remain dotted with family-named cemeteries like Forney Cem and historic congregational sites like the Salem Churches.
