1968 Map of Waynesville

About this map

The Little Miami River corridor serves as the primary geographic axis for this 1968 survey, tracing a path through the intersection of Montgomery, Greene, and Warren Counties. The settlement of Waynesville anchors the southwest, with its street grid and the neighboring village of Corwin situated across the river. To the northeast, the Penn Central railroad tracks parallel the river valley, passing through small communities like Roxanna and Spring Valley. This era marks a significant preservation of the natural landscape, seen in the established boundaries of the Sugarcreek Reserve near Centerville and the Spring Valley Wildlife Area. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural landscape through sites like the Miami Cemetery and family-named roads such as Chenoweth Road and Satterthwaites Road. The terrain transitions from the upland plains of Washington township into the carved valleys of Caesar Creek and Shaffers Run.
