The Little Beaver Creek parallels on the south side of the bypass and crosses to the north side just west of the I-675 underpass. In the 1870’s this area was owned by John Coy on the west and Daniel Shoup on the east.
This section of road roughly follows the former route of the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) railway. This was a narrower gauge rail, meaning the tracks were closer together. Nearby were the tracks that accommodated the Dayton and Xenia Traction line, the second generation of trolley cars that ran from Xenia into Preble County as well as from Dayton to Troy and Springfield.
