1965 Map of Springboro

About this map

The growing town of Springboro and the southern edge of Centerville define this landscape along the Montgomery Co Warren Co line. By the mid-1960s, the rural character of the region was beginning to shift as suburban expansion, indicated by revisions like Chevy Chase Dr, moved south from Centerville. The area is notably dense with family-historical sites, featuring numerous cemeteries such as Rehoboth Cem, Salem Cem, and the Old School Cem. Transportation infrastructure transitions from the agricultural Pennyroyal Rd to the aviation-oriented Montgomery County Airport. Large portions of the quadrangle remain dominated by the drainage of Clear Creek, while the Penn Central railroad cuts through the eastern sections near Lytle. This survey documents a critical moment when small settlements like Ridgeville, Pekin, and Kenricksville still maintained their distinct identities amidst the encroaching regional development.
