About this map

The Great Miami River valley anchors this mid-century survey, a landscape defined by its industrial corridors and established rural hamlets. The city of Middletown and its Mayfield suburb dominate the northeast corner, while smaller settlements like Trenton, Busenbark, and Le Sourdsville dot the surrounding farmland. Transportation is a primary theme, with the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Penn Central lines cutting across the terrain alongside historical thoroughfares like Wayne Madison Road.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the density of family-named landmarks and rural burial sites. Landmarks such as Shafer Farm Cem, Miltonville Cem, and Augspurger Cem provide specific points of reference for local historians. The map also documents the transition from agrarian roots to suburban growth, showing early educational facilities like Babcock Sch and Oneida Sch near emerging residential developments and the Rentschler Forest Preserve.
