1974 Map of Bentley
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Agricultural life in Hancock County revolves around the Norfolk And Western railroad line as it passes through the small rural hubs of Bentley and Denver. This mid-1970s landscape is deeply rooted in local tradition, evidenced by the numerous community landmarks such as Middle Creek Ch, Mt Pleasant Ch, and Providence Ch. For genealogists, the map is a detailed record of local family history, noting several burial grounds including Harmony Cem, Groves Cem, Denver Cem, and Browning Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Middle Creek, Little Creek, and Bronson Creek, which have carved wooded corridors through the otherwise level farmland. Interestingly, the area shows a distinct pattern of private aviation with several rural runways like the Mc Pherson Landing Strip and Mabry Landing Strip scattered across the township boundaries of Harmony, Chili, and Augusta.
