1968 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

The East Fork Little Miami River winds sharply through this 1968 landscape, marking a period of transition before the full inundation of the lake. The village of Williamsburg sits as the central hub, surrounded by a network of rural settlements like Blowville, Afton, and Crosstown. These communities are connected by the Norfolk and Western railroad and historic routes such as the Mc Keever Schoolhouse Road. Notable for local genealogists are the family-named features and rural institutions, including Hennings Mill, Maple Grove Ch, and the Greenberry Sch. Purple revisions from 1974 indicate planned changes near Elk Lick and the rising waters of the East Fork, showing the footprint of Lake O' the Woods before the valley's character was permanently altered by regional water projects.
