2011 Map of Roachdale

About this map

Roachdale and Bainbridge anchor this portion of northern Putnam County, representing a landscape defined by organized rural settlement and an intricate network of waterways. The northern reach is dominated by the course of Big Raccoon Creek and Lick Creek, while the southern half of the map features the winding paths of Big Walnut Creek and its various tributaries like North Ramp Creek and South Ramp Creek. Several bridge crossings, including the Rolling Stone Bridge and Pine Bluff Bridge, indicate the historic importance of traversing these waterways for local commerce between small communities like Carpentersville. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous family-named burial grounds, such as Hartman Cemetery and Coffman Cemetery, which sit alongside larger municipal sites like the Roachdale Cemetery.
