2013 Map of Tipp City

About this map

The Great Miami River valley defines the character of this landscape between Tipp City and Vandalia. This modern topographic survey shows the extensive development of the James M Cox Dayton International Airport in the southwest corner, contrasting with the agricultural tradition of Gerard Prairie and Freemans Prairie to the east. The map records a dense network of local cemeteries that anchor the history of the Miami Valley, including Hyattsville Cem, Maple Hill Cem, and the Saint Johns Cem. Along the river corridor, the terrain transitions from the upland plains near Ginghamburg to the riparian bottoms of Lost Creek and Honey Creek. Smaller communities like Phoneton and West Charleston remain legible on the landscape, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracking family history in the borderlands of Miami and Montgomery counties.
