About this map

Milo serves as the central hub for this mid-1960s study of Warren County, positioned where a grid of rural roads converges amidst the rolling agricultural landscape of Belmont and Lincoln townships. To the north, the small settlements of Ackworth and Sandyville anchor their respective corners of the quadrangle, connected by the drainage systems of the South River and Coal Creek. A prominent Old Railroad Grade traces a diagonal path south of Ackworth, signaling a shift in the local transport network as rail gave way to modern thoroughfares.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous burial sites scattered across the countryside, including the IOOF Cem, Hammondsburg Cem, and Belmont Cem. The landscape is further defined by its watercourses, from the winding path of Otter Creek to the Gaging Station on the river, reflecting the area's ongoing management of its natural resources and floodplain.
