Alt Text Map of Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park in Ohio. Park sites are shown in green in and around Dayton, which is shaded tan. The blue Great Miami River winds down Dayton, and the Mad River trails out northeast. Roads represented by brown lines spray outward east of Dayton. Extended Description Shaped like a thick and short capital letter T, the city of Dayton sits in the left half of the map, while the spray of roads east take up the right half of the map. The Great Miami River cuts through Dayton as an S shape, with Wolf Creek branching over West Dayton and Mad River branching northeast. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, represented as two gray-shaded blocks below Mad River, are in the top right quadrant of the map. The lower portion sits below State Route 444, and the upper portion sits above State Route 444. This description will lay out the main roads and then plot out the park sites from west to east. Main Roads West US Highway 35 goes across the map, cutting through the middle of Dayton and then trailing off further east. Interstate 75 comes down east of the Miami River, crosses the river going southwest, travels through Dayton, and trails off near the bottom of the map “To Cincinnati.” Near Interstate 75’s emergence at the top, text reads “To Interstate 70.” West of the river, State Route 48 crosses Interstate 75, then crosses the river into Dayton as Main Street. After intersecting US Highway 35, it continues south as State Route 48. Between State Route 48 and the river, Patterson Boulevard curves through Dayton, crossing East Third Street and then Main Street while intersecting US Highway 35 before continuing south. West Third Street runs diagonally through Dayton, crossing the Great Miami River, then Main Street, after which it becomes East Third Street. Main Roads East East of Dayton, Third Street splits into three roads, with one road going further northeast, one continuing east, and the other going southeast. The northeast road, Springfield Street, runs below Mad River and forms the northern border of the lower Air Force Base. Springfield merges with State Route 444, which forms the southern border of the upper part of the Air Force base. The east road, Airway Road, becomes known as Colonel Glenn Highway after crossing Harshman Road. Respectively, these roads form the south and west boundaries of the lower Air Force base. The southeast road, Linden Avenue, crosses East Fifth Street, then continues southeast, crossing US Highway 35. East Fifth Street meets up with Burkhardt Avenue, which continues east off the map. Above the Mad River, State Route 4 stretches from a point on Interstate 75 and continues northeast, linking to Harshman Road, then State Route 444, then up off the top right edge of the map. Sites in Dayton and Further West Six locations across the map are numbered 1 through 6 with green circles and white text. West of Dayton, below West Third Street and above US Highway 35, a small green irregular pentagon marks park site number 3. Continuing east along Third Street, heading north up Paul Laurence Dunbar Street, park site number 2 is near the intersection of Dunbar and Edison streets. A few blocks east below Third Street is park site number 1, near South Williams Street. South of Dayton, on Carillon Boulevard, between Interstate 75 and Patterson Boulevard is Carillon Historical Park and park site number 4. Farther south of Dayton, park site number 5 sits west of State Route 48, on the corner of Harman Avenue and Park Avenue. Just north of here, taking State Route 48 to Oakwood Avenue and then to Woodland Cemetery Road, is Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum. Sites Around the Air Force Base Heading east of Springfield Street, after crossing Harshman Road is Gate 28B at Bong Street, which leads to the National Museum of the United States Air Force and the National Aviation Hall of Fame within the lower area of the Air Force base. Springfield Street merges with State Route 444 farther up and then heads south on Kauffman Avenue. A spur off Kauffman Avenue accesses the Huffman Prairie Flying Field Interpretive Center and Wright Memorial. State Route 444 continues to Gate 16A and then up into the upper section of the Air Force to reach Hebble Creek Road, which forms an angular intersection with Marl Road near park site number 6, Huffman Prairie Flying Field. Parking is further northeast up Marl Road, past the park area. Legend A scale in the lower right corner of the map shows distances of 1 kilometer and 1 mile.
