About this map

Miamisburg Mound State Memorial dominates the southern landscape, reflecting a pre-European history that persists alongside the heavy industrial and institutional development of the mid-20th century. The Great Miami River valley serves as the primary corridor for growth, carrying both the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads through established hubs like Miamisburg and West Carrollton. To the north, the sprawling Veterans Administration Center and the Dayton Correction Farm signify the area's role in regional state and federal infrastructure.

Local history is preserved in numerous family and community sites, from the Highland Memorial Cemetery to smaller markers like Trissel Cem and Forney Cem. The transition from the urban density of Dayton and New Chicago to the surrounding agricultural townships is evident, with old schools such as the Radcliffe Sch and Jane Addams Sch still anchoring their respective neighborhoods during this period of suburban expansion.
