1971 Map of Bennington
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Bennington and Pleasant serve as primary hubs for the agrarian community of northwestern Switzerland County during this early 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by its characteristic ridge-and-valley structure, where winding roads like Treaty Line Road and Ball Diamond Road trace the high ground of Scotts Ridge and Greenbrier Ridge. These narrow, elevated corridors connect numerous small spiritual and social centers, including Caledonia Ch, Macedonia Ch, and the Ebenezer Ch. Drainage patterns are complex, with waters flowing through systems like Brushy Fork and Indian Creek, highlighting the importance of topographical elevation for early road building and settlement placement. For the genealogist, the map identifies specific family-named burial grounds such as Slawson Cem and Zion Cem, providing precise locations for rural heritage research.
