1955 Map of Xenia

About this map

Xenia serves as a major hub for Southwest Ohio in the mid-1950s, where the intersection of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad creates a dense industrial and residential core. The city is flanked by significant institutions, including the sprawling Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home and numerous local schools like Spring Hill Sch and Lincoln Sch. To the northeast, the academic corridor of Wilberforce is clearly defined by the campuses of Wilberforce University and Central State College.
