1955 Map of Millville

About this map

Darrtown and Millville anchor this mid-1950s survey of Butler County, where the agricultural landscape is carved by the winding courses of Fourmile Creek and Indian Creek. The region's development is closely tied to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line, which passes through McGonigle and Woods Station. This era shows a community defined by its rural institutions, including the Hanover Sch and Queen of Peace Sch, alongside numerous family and church burial grounds like Bethel Cem and Minton Cem. The terrain transitions from the upland flats near Auburn to the more dissected valleys around Bunker Hill. To the northeast, the outskirts of Oxford appear, while the residential pocket of Queen Acres signals mid-century growth near the historic village centers. Local landmarks like Island Pond and Holiday Lake offer distinct water features within the predominantly township-sectioned interior.
