About this map

Rockport sits at a prominent bend in the Ohio River, serving as a focal point where the modern infrastructure of Spencer Co meets the waterway. The terrain is defined by distinct elevations such as Hanging Rock along the riverbank and the inland rises of Fisher Knobs, Nix Hill, and Coal Knobs. This 2019 survey shows a landscape where small settlements like Silverdale, Rock Hill, and Reo are interconnected by a dense grid of county roads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented across the township, including Saint Bernard Cem near the town center and more remote locations like Pleasant Valley Cem, Stateler Cem, and Hackleman Cem. The map also illustrates the transition from the industrial and municipal areas of the riverfront to the rural character of the northern interior, where Lake Mill and various knobs suggest a more varied topography away from the floodplains.
