1915 Map of Waynesville

Further south, the terrain transitions into the agricultural reaches of Washington and Spring Valley townships. The map is exceptionally rich for family historians, recording dozens of numbered district schools alongside named institutions like Sugar Grove School and Lamb School. Established villages such as Centerville and Bellbrook anchor the rural landscape, while the presence of Shakertown and Washington Mills provides clear evidence of the area’s early communal and industrial foundations before mid-century modernization altered these traditional settlement patterns.
