About this map

The B & O SW Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio railroads anchor the local economy across this pocket of southwestern Ohio, where small market towns grew along the iron rails. Sabina and New Vienna serve as primary hubs, connected by a network of early thoroughfares like Washington Courthouse Road and Snow Hill Road. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the E. Fk. Little Miami River and the winding course of Rattlesnake Creek, with terrain rising toward Snow Hill.

Genealogical researchers can trace rural community life through dozens of named district schools, including Stickaway School, Brimstone School, and Powderlick School. Smaller, more elusive settlements such as Darktown, Carytown, and Centerville Lees Creek PO appear in high detail, reflecting the township structure of Richland, Wayne, and Fairfield before the consolidation of many local institutions.
