1968 Map of Waynesville

About this map

The Little Miami River corridor serves as the primary artery for this portion of southwest Ohio, where the village of Waynesville and the neighboring community of Corwin sit at a significant river crossing. By the late 1960s, this landscape reflected a mix of established agricultural settlements and the growing influence of regional conservation and recreation areas. Large tracts of land appear dedicated to nature, including the Sugarcreek Reserve and the Spring Valley Wildlife Area, while the nascent Caesar Creek State Park is visible to the southeast. The map reveals a dense network of local history, preserved in sites like the Miami Cemetery and Middle Run Ch. Transportation patterns are well-defined by the Conrail line running parallel to the river and a system of historic routes like Social Row Road and Ferry Road, indicating the movement of people and goods through these river valley townships.
