About this map

The city of Xenia serves as a dense hub of civic and educational life in mid-1960s Greene County, anchored by institutions like the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home and the County Hospital. To the northeast, the historic community of Wilberforce is clearly defined, featuring Payne Seminary near the banks of Massies Creek. The landscape reflects a transition from the urban core to surrounding agricultural land, with the Little Miami River winding past the small settlement of Oldtown.

Transportation networks define the era, with the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads intersecting the terrain alongside developing residential districts. Notable local landmarks such as the Fish Hatchery, the County Fairgrounds, and several significant burial grounds including Woodland Cemetery and St. Brigid's Cemetery provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the growth of the region.
