About this map

Centerville and Springboro anchor this mid-1960s survey of the Miami Valley at the border of Montgomery and Warren counties. The landscape is characterized by a mix of emerging suburban developments and established agricultural tracts, particularly around Five Points and Kerricksville. Small rural nodes like Ridgeville and Pekin provide focal points for local history, with the latter featuring the notable Old Pekin Railroad Grade.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites, including Salem Cem, Wright Cem, and Null Cem. The presence of the Dayton General Airport South and the Sycamore Creek Country Club illustrates the mid-century transition from a purely agrarian economy to one supporting the expanding workforce of nearby Dayton. Waterways like Clear Creek and Holes Creek define the natural drainage of the region, while the Landing Strip near the southern edge highlights the era's light aviation infrastructure.
