About this map

The Courthouse at the center of Wilmington anchors this mid-century survey of Clinton County, Ohio. The city is a hub of transport and education, defined by the campus of Wilmington College and the crossing of the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central railroads. Urban expansion is visible through updated purple tinting, showing the growth of the Wilmington Industrial Airpark southeast of the city center.

Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into the agricultural reaches of Union and Washington townships. Small outlying communities like Little Center, Starbucktown, and Burtonville are connected by a dense network of country roads including Haws Road and Ireland Road. To the southwest, the creation of Cowan State Park around Cowan Lake provides a notable contrast to the surrounding farmland and industrial corridors.
