About this map

The Little Miami River carves a winding path through this corner of Warren County, where a dense network of early 20th-century railroads supported the region's agricultural and industrial growth. The P. C. C. and St. L. RR and several electric lines, including the C. L. and N. Electric RR, connect major hubs like Lebanon and Morrow. The topography is defined by significant landmarks such as the earthworks of Fort Ancient and social infrastructure like the County Infirmary and Childrens Home.

Smaller settlements and rural nodes are remarkably preserved here, from the milling history at Stubbs Mill to the numerous schoolhouses dotting the townships, such as Brimstone School and Edwardsville School. The landscape transitions from the flatlands of Massie in the northeast to the creek-dissected hills around South Lebanon and Maineville, offering a look at the county before mid-century suburbanization changed the character of these historic river towns.
