1955 Map of Waynesville

About this map

The Little Miami River corridor serves as the primary geographical axis for this mid-century survey, dividing the landscape between the Great Miami River Base to the west and the Virginia Military District to the east. The village of Waynesville anchors the southwest, mirrored across the water by Corwin, where the Pennsylvania RR follows the riverbank. This rail link connects a string of rural communities including Roxanna, Spring Valley, and the former settlement at Mount Holly. Historically significant sites like Sugar Creek Ch, Middle Run Ch, and the large Miami Cemetery are clearly marked, providing essential data for genealogical research. The topography rises toward Harveysburg Hill in the southeast, overlooking Harveysburg and the winding course of Caesar Creek before its eventual impoundment in later decades.
