About this map

The city of Xenia serves as a dense hub of transportation and civic life in Greene County, where the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad converge. This mid-century landscape reveals a significant concentration of educational and social institutions, notably the Central State University and Payne Seminary in Wilberforce, and the expansive grounds of the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home on the southeastern edge of the city.

Rural areas surrounding the urban center are defined by watercourses like the Little Miami River and Massies Creek, alongside numerous family and community landmarks such as Cherry Grove Cemetery and St. Brigids School and Cemetery. Small outlying settlements like Oldtown and Trebein sit amidst a network of gravel pits and hatcheries, reflecting the area's local resource-based industry and its transition from early crossroads to an integrated regional center.
