1913 Map of Waynesville
USGS Topo · Published 1913About this map
The Miami and Erie Canal runs parallel to the Miami River in the northwest, marking a landscape defined by pre-automotive transportation networks. This 1913 survey by Fred Graff, Jr. captures the complex convergence of steam and electric rail lines serving Waynesville and the surrounding townships. The Ohio Electric Ry and Dayton and Xenia Electric Ry weave between established agricultural settlements like Centerville and Springboro, illustrating the era of the interurban trolley. Beyond the rail corridors, the terrain is densely marked with numbered district schools and rural industry, such as Washington Mills on Sugar Creek. Notable local landmarks include Lebanon Junc and Alexandersville, providing a detailed look at the rural-to-urban transition of Montgomery and Warren counties before the dominance of modern highways.
