1968 Map of Yellow Springs

About this map

Antioch College serves as a cultural anchor in Yellow Springs, a village defined by its academic presence and its position above the Little Miami River. This late 1960s survey, with later photorevisions, highlights the intersection of education and natural terrain, where the Jacoby Branch and Yellow Springs Creek carve through the landscape. To the north, the Mad River corridor supports infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal plant and the Conrail rail lines, while the U S Military Reservation occupies significant acreage to the west. Rural life is anchored by family-centric landmarks such as Hustead Sch, the Byron Ch, and the Pleasant Grove Cem. The map captures a moment of transition for Fairborn and Enon as suburban development, indicated by purple revision marks, began to fill the spaces between traditional agricultural plots and established institutions like the Greene Joint Vocational Sch.
