About this map

Trotwood serves as the focal point of this mid-century portrait of Montgomery County, where suburban expansion meets the established agricultural grid of Madison and Randolph townships. The Stillwater River carves through the northeast, bordered by the extensive Miami Conservancy District (Englewood Reserve), a critical component of regional flood control. Transportation corridors like the historic National Road and the Penn Central railroad facilitate growth, connecting smaller communities such as Clayton and Englewood to the northern reaches of Dayton.

Local landmarks reveal a community in transition, from the institutional presence of the Precious Blood Convent and Dahio Airfield to the cultural draw of the Hara Arena. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family burial grounds and country churches, including Ehrstine Cem, Turner Cem, and Concord Ch, which stand alongside new developments and mid-century shopping centers.
