About this map

Roseman Covered Bridge spans the Middle River in this rural landscape of Madison County during the early 1980s. The region is defined by its deep agricultural roots and a network of small settlements such as Pitzer and Webster. Local genealogy is well-documented through several family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including Wintermantle Cem, Wight Cem, and Welty Cem, which are scattered throughout the townships of Jackson and Webster.

Beyond the farms, the area supported localized industry as evidenced by a Quarry near the river and several civic and religious centers like Townhall, Oak Grove Ch, and Wesley Chapel. Tributaries like Howerdon Creek and Baugh Branch carve through the terrain, while the map even notes fine details like selected fence and field lines from aerial photography, offering a precise look at the land's organization before modern development changed the local character.
