1967 Map of Roche A Cri

About this map

Big Roche a Cri Creek snakes through the central Adams County landscape, defining the character of the Big Roche a Cri Lake reservoir. The area is marked by distinctive geological outcrops such as Rabbit Rock, Minnie Rock, and the namesake Roche a Cri pillar within Roche a Cri State Park. These sandstone mesas rise sharply above the flat plains of Strongs Prairie and Big Flats, providing landmarks that have served travelers for generations. Local life in the late 1960s is anchored by the Pineland Sch, the Cottonville Cem, and a dedicated Wayside Park. The presence of a Cranberry Bog near Bingham Creek reflects the region's specialized agricultural history, while the straight-line grid of roads like Cottonville Avenue and Chicago Avenue contrasts with the meandering paths of Carter Creek and Dead Horse Creek.
