About this piece

Town plans of College Corner, Sugar Valley, New Lexington and Verona, four villages of Preble County, Ohio, on one sheet from Atlas of Preble County Ohio by C.O. Titus, published in 1871. The sheet is printed in black, with each plan tinted in its own color: pink, yellow and green.

College Corner (Israel Township) fills the upper right, with a railroad cutting diagonally through the town, surrounding farm lots and the names of owners. Sugar Valley (Dixon Township) is a small plan at the upper left. New Lexington (Twin Township) is drawn as a regular grid at the lower left, with North, Cherry, Main, Jefferson and South streets. Verona (Harrison Township) lies along a railroad at the lower right, with its own business directory. Every plan marks lots, owners and buildings, and states its scale in rods or feet to the inch.

The sheet records the layout of these small settlements in 1871, with the names of the residents and tradesmen of each.
