About this map

Troy serves as the industrial and civic heart of Miami County in this early 1960s study, later updated with photorevisions in the early 1980s. The Great Miami River winds through the center of the city, flanked by Treasure Island Park and the notable Hobart Arena. The landscape outside the city center reflects a mix of civic infrastructure and agriculture, including the County Home, the County Fairground, and the Childrens Home.

Transportation patterns are defined by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor and the arrival of Interstate 75, which bisects the western portion of the city. To the east, the village of Casstown sits at a crossroads, while smaller hamlets like Staunton and Eldean remain distinct points on the local map. Numerous rural burial grounds, such as Raper Chapel Cem and Knoop Cem, offer valuable data for genealogical research in the surrounding townships.
