2016 Map of Rockville

About this map

Rockville and the surrounding townships in Parke County are defined by a network of creeks and several notable historic crossings. The southern portion of this area features a concentration of traditional structures, including the Beeson Covered Bridge, Billie Creek Bridge, and the Leatherwood Station Bridge, which provide insight into the preservation of mid-19th-century engineering in Indiana. The landscape is primarily agricultural and residential, with the terrain carved by Little Raccoon Creek, Leatherwood Cr, and Sand Cr. Smaller villages such as Annapolis, Bloomingdale, and Marshall dot the northern sections, each often accompanied by family or community burial grounds like Rawlings Cem and Poplar Cem. The central region is largely open space, punctuated by Nyesville and the waters of Lakeview Estates Lake, illustrating a transition from early settlement patterns to modern rural developments.
