1955 Map of South Lebanon

About this map

The Little Miami River carves a deep valley through the northern half of this landscape, serving as a corridor for the Penn Central and anchoring the riverfront settlements of South Lebanon, Morrow, and Kings Mills. To the west, the U S Military Reservation (Ordnance Plant) occupies a significant plateau, marking the industrial and defensive footprint of the mid-century era. This survey, photorevised in the late 1960s, documents the transition from established agricultural townships like Hamilton and Salem to more modern land use.
