About this map

The East Fork Little Miami River snakes through the center of this Clermont County landscape, defining the character of the village of Williamsburg. In the late 1960s, the area was undergoing significant transitions, with the establishment of East Fork State Park and the creation of Lake Marsha on the western edge. The Norfolk and Western railroad corridor provides a sharp diagonal through the terrain, connecting the settlement at Afton to the larger regional network.

Rural life is anchored by several small communities and family-named locations such as Hennings Mill, New Harmony, and Blowville. The map captures a detailed view of local infrastructure before major late-20th-century development, including scattered landmarks like Maple Grove Ch, the Riveredge Country Club, and several small landing strips. Surveyed originally in the 1950s and updated with 1980s aerial data, the sheet records the interplay of longstanding agricultural roads like Ashton Road and Greenbush Road with the evolving floodplain.
