After reading my post about the old farmhouse in Winton Woods, a follower asked about why Winton Road changes to South Gilmore above I-275, and why Mill Road changes to Winton Road. For anyone (including me as a lost teenager driver in the 1980s), this can be very confusing! The simple answer - the county line between Hamilton and Butler Counties. But there just had to be a bit more reasoning...
This image is part of Springfield Township, Hamilton County, in 1917. The blue line is the original path of Winton Road, pink is Mill Road, and orange is Hall Road.

All that changed when I-275 came through, and an exit was planned at Hall Road. In 1967, it was decided to extend Winton Road north to connect to Hall. The former part of Winton Road that extended to Mill Road was renamed to Lincolnshire, which no longer connects to Winton. The north end of Winton Road became part of Kemper, originally named Bank Lick.

In Butler County, they continued with calling Mill/Winton Road, just Winton, and in the mid 1980s, Gilmore Road was extended to meet Hall-Winton Road. Yep, that what the exit was called in many articles I came across. I guess people didn't know what name should be used! Eventually, it just became Winton Road, except once you cross that county line, when it becomes South Gilmore!
