About this map

The Miami River corridor defines the geography of Troy and its surrounding townships in the early 1960s. This survey captures the city as a regional hub of infrastructure and social services, featuring the Stouder Memorial Hospital and Dettmer Hospital alongside the sprawling County Fairground. The river's influence is seen in recreational sites like Treasure Island Park and the large Island No 3 downstream.

Logistics and transport are anchored by the crossing of the Baltimore and Ohio and New York Central railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods through small outlying settlements like Farrington, Eldean, and Staunton. For those researching local families, the map is rich with genealogical data, pinpointing numerous burial sites such as the expansive Riverside Cemetery, Raper Chapel Cem, and Rose Hill Cem. Numerous neighborhood schools, including Edwards Sch and Kyle Sch, illustrate the mid-century development of the community.
