About this map

Waynesville stands as a central hub along the Little Miami River in this mid-century survey, flanked by several smaller rural settlements including Crosswick, Mount Holly, and Spring Valley. The landscape is a mix of agricultural fields and river valleys, defined by the complex of roads such as Social Row Road and Ferry Road. A notable detail of the local transport economy is the Pennsylvania railroad line, which includes the Corwin (Waynesville Station) stop just east of the river.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of religious and burial sites across the townships, from the Miami Cemetery and Mount Holly Cem to the Sugar Creek Ch and Middle Run Ch. The map also delineates the boundary between the Great Miami River Base and the Virginia Military District, a historical surveying distinction that still influenced property lines and land records when these aerial photographs were taken in the 1950s.
