About this map

Rockport serves as a prominent focal point along the northern bank of the Ohio River, where the landscape transitions from the river valley to higher ground marked by features like Hanging Rock. This 2010 survey illustrates a well-developed network of county roads connecting small settlements such as Centerville, Silverdale, and Lake Mill. The cultural history of Spencer County is visible through numerous burial grounds, including Saint Bernard Cemetery, Hackleman Cemetery, and Pleasant Valley Cemetery, which dot the agricultural land north of the river.

Water management and drainage are central to the terrain, evidenced by Huffman Ditch, Sweezer Ditch, and Honey Creek. Near the riverfront, Lincoln Pioneer Village stands as a notable cultural landmark. The map also captures distinctive local elevations like Coal Knobs, Nix Hill, and Fisher Knobs, which break up the surrounding fields and provide a clear sense of the local topography as it was at the start of the 21st century.
