About this map

Billie Creek Village and several historic crossing points define this portion of Parke County during the late 1970s. The landscape is characterized by its preservation of structural heritage, notably the Beeson Covered Bridge and Adams Covered Bridge, alongside active civic sites like the 4-H Club Fairgrounds. The town of Rockville serves as the primary hub, where an Armory and a Drive-in Theater are situated near the banks of Rockville Lake.

Away from the town center, the area is dotted with small settlements such as Annapolis, Bloomingdale, and Judson, many linked by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line. Family history and local genealogy are well-represented by a high density of rural burial grounds, including Rawlings Cem, Coffin Cem, and Overman Cem. Industrial activity is marked by Quarries and Gas Well sites, while the State Hospital and Sewage Disposal infrastructure indicate the modern development of the era.
