1968 Map of Blocher

About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio RR cuts a north-south line through the heart of Scott County, anchoring the small communities of Blocher and Lexington. This landscape in the late 1960s is defined by a series of rural settlements and named family roads, including Bethlehem Road and Kimberlin Road. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks essential for genealogical research, such as Bethel Cem, Hopewell Cem, and the Scaffold Lick Ch. To the north, the burgeoning Hardy Lake State Recreation Area marks a shift toward public land use, while small agricultural hubs like New Frankfort and Wooster maintain their traditional character. Waterways like Stucker Fork and Kimberlin Creek weave through the township boundaries of Vienna and Lexington, illustrating the historical drainage patterns that shaped local farm placement.
