About this map

Yellow Springs serves as a cultural and educational hub in this western Ohio landscape, dominated by the campus of Antioch College and various administrative branches of the university system. The terrain is defined by the incision of the Little Miami River and its tributaries, including Yellow Springs Creek and Jacoby Branch, which carve through the till plains. Settlement patterns show a distinct contrast between the established grids of Fairborn and the suburban expansions at Holiday Valley and Green Meadows.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, from the large Glen Forest Cemetery to smaller rural plots like Mud Run Cemetery and Pleasant Grove Cemetery. The map also captures the aviation footprint of the region with Hammond Airport and Hydebrook Airport situated between the primary townships. Transportation corridors like the Fairfield Pike connect these communities, following the higher ground between the river valleys.
