About this map

Troy serves as the focal point of this Miami County survey, situated where the Great Miami River bends through the heart of the landscape. The city’s mid-century footprint is detailed with major institutions such as Stouder Memorial Hospital, the County Fairground, and Edwards Sch. To the north and east, the character of the land remains largely agricultural, punctuated by small settlements like Casstown and Eldean.

Transport corridors define the region's development, with the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central railroads cutting through the terrain. Notable local landmarks include the expansive Riverside Cemetery, Island No 3 in the river, and several rural burial grounds like Knoop Cem and Raper Chapel Cem. The 1972 photorevisions, shown in purple, highlight the expansion of residential areas such as Sherwood Heights Ch and new developments north of the city center, illustrating the post-war growth of this Ohio manufacturing and agricultural hub.
