About this map

Trotwood and the western edge of Dayton define this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating a period of suburban expansion into the agricultural Montgomery County countryside. The residential growth is marked by several significant institutional landmarks, including the Precious Blood Convent, Stillwater Sanitarium, and the iconic Hara Arena. The map details the transition from rural crossroads like Taylorsburg and Hays Corner to organized developments such as Fort McKinley and Residence Park.

Hydrological and industrial patterns remain prominent, with the Stillwater River and its accompanying Englewood Reserve dominating the northeast corner. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the Pennsylvania railroad line meeting at Stillwater Junction, the presence of the Dahio Airfield, and the Miami Conservancy District land management along the river. These features, alongside numerous family cemeteries like Cedar Hill Cem and Turner Cem, offer a detailed view of the county's settled history and mid-century modern shifts.
