About this map

The Great Miami River anchors this mid-century view of Butler County, flowing past a series of established industrial and residential corridors. To the west, Trenton is defined by its grid and proximity to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, while the eastern banks show the expansion of Middletown and Monroe. The map reveals the intricate land divisions between the Miami River Survey and the Symmes Purchase, visible in the shifting orientations of the local road network.

Local history is preserved in various family and pioneer landmarks, from the Shafer Farm Cem and Augspurger Cem to the early riverside settlements of Woodsdale and Rockdale. Public spaces like the Rentschler Forest Preserve and YMCA Camp sit along the river's winding course, while smaller communities such as Le Sourdsville and Princeton provide a clear look at the rural-industrial landscape before later suburban intensification.
