About this map

The Great Miami River valley defines the central corridor of this mid-1960s survey, showing the expansion of Tipp City and Vandalia during a period of significant regional growth. The landscape is a mix of traditional agriculture and modern aviation infrastructure, anchored by the Dayton Municipal Airport in the south. Aviation-related features like the Control Tower and Filtration Plant stand near growing residential blocks, while smaller hamlets like Ginghamsburg and West Charleston maintain their distinct rural footprints.

Local history is preserved in the naming of several family cemeteries and country schools, including Pearson Cem and the Middle District Sch. The transit network reflects both the old and new, with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad following the river valley while the National Road and a Drive-in Theater highlight the mid-century car culture. Much of the riverbank is protected within the Miami Conservancy District, showing the region's managed approach to its primary waterway.
