About this map

Lebanon stands as the central hub of this 1914 survey, displaying a dense grid of streets and institutional landmarks including the County Infirmary and the Childrens Home. The Little Miami River snakes southward through the center of the sheet, its valley serving as a corridor for the Pennsylvania RR and the P C C and St L RR. This river-and-rail geography shaped the placement of river towns like Oregonia, Morrow, and South Lebanon.

Upland from the river, the landscape is defined by the Symmes Purchase and a dense network of early rural education, with dozens of named schoolhouses such as Rock School, Silver Grove School, and Gum Grove School serving local farming families. Notable landmarks include the prehistoric earthworks at Fort Ancient overlooking the river and the industrial presence at Kings Mills, providing a detailed view of Warren County's social and physical infrastructure during the early twentieth century.
