1972 Map of Rockville

About this map

Rockville serves as the central hub of this rural landscape in the early 1970s, where several country churches anchor the local community. The map shows a clear network of spiritual and social centers, including Jenkins Grove Chapel, Mt Zion Ch, Oconee Ch, and St Pauls Ch. The eastern and southern portions of the terrain are dominated by the waters of the Oconee River and Lake Sinclair, which marks the boundary between Putnam, Greene, and Hancock Counties. Numerous small waterways like Buckshot Creek and Sandy Run carve through the forested hills, feeding into the larger reservoir. At the heart of the settlement, the Rockville Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark overlooking the intersection of local roads. Near the shoreline, Oconee Springs Park indicates the area's development for recreation following the damming of the river.
