1968 Map of Yellow Springs

About this map

Antioch College serves as a cultural and intellectual anchor within Yellow Springs, a town defined by its proximity to the Little Miami River and the expansive Little Miami State Forest Preserve. This 1968 revision captures the region during a period of suburban transition, showing established residential pockets like Holiday Valley and Houck Meadows alongside the older crossroads of Byron and Enon. The landscape is etched with the legacies of local education and faith, featuring sites such as Indian Valley Sch, Hustead Sch, and the Byron Ch Cem. Transportation patterns are dominated by the Conrail lines and the developing infrastructure around Fairborn, while conservation efforts are evident in the protected lands of the Beaver Creek State Wildlife Area and Twin Towers (County Park).
