1961 Map of Withamsville

About this map

The suburban expansion of eastern Cincinnati is documented in this 1961 survey, showing the residential transformation of southern Union and Anderson townships. New residential developments like Sherwood Village, Paddison Hills, and Mount Carmel Heights spread across the uplands, while the Ohio River remains the primary geographic anchor to the south. Along the river, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor tracks the shoreline past the State Fish Hatchery. Significant religious and educational institutions, including St Gregory Seminary and Sacred Heart Seminary, highlight the area's cultural infrastructure during this mid-century growth period. The map also captures the earlier rural character persisting through named valleys like Nine Mile Creek and Tenmile Creek, alongside local landmarks like Mt Moriah Church and the Coldstream Country Club.
