Very old US 25 - Ohio

Thanks to Google Maps and my handy 1929 RMcN Ohio Auto Road Map, I've
almost got the entire old route of US 25 through Ohio nailed down.
There are still two cities left to figure out, though. Anyone have
some very early city maps around?

In *Beaverdam*, US 25 looks like it almost cut a diagonal through the
city -- I'm thinking (before the US 30 freeway cut the road) that it
crossed N. Napoleon Road, went up Mill St., then curved left on S.
Lima St., then right on Lincoln Hwy, left on Church St. and out of the
city. I'm wondering if that's a later "bypass" route; could the
original 1926 route have been left on Napoleon and then right on
Lincoln Hwy, to Church St?

In *Troy*, US 25 appears to have entered on S. Market St, then left on
W. Main St and right on N. Elm St out of the city . I'm wondering if
an older routing had it coming up Union St., then left on W. Main St.
and right on N. Elm St.?

Interestingly, the 1929 Dayton map shows an old routing where US 25
enters the city coming from Cincinnati. It comes in on S. Dixie Drive
(then called the Cincinnati Pike), then curves right on to what is now
W Schantz Ave, then left on OH 48, S. Main St. Apparently, S.
Patterson Blvd hadn't been built yet.
