1961 Map of Piqua East

About this map

The Miami River and the Miami and Erie Canal (Abandoned) dominate this Western Ohio landscape, illustrating the evolution of transport from water to rail and road. The city of Piqua serves as the regional hub, showing a dense grid of streets and public institutions like the Armory, City Hall, and numerous neighborhood schools such as St Boniface Sch and Staunton St Sch. Outside the city, the land is marked by small settlements like Kirkwood and Garby, and the paths of the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central railroads. The rural sections are dotted with family history markers, including McKinney Cem and Garby Cem No 2. A notable engineering feature is the Miami Conservancy District (Lockington Reserve), which includes a spillway and dam designed for flood control near Lockington.
