About this map

Rogersville serves as the focal point of this Greene County landscape, situated where South Fork Tenmile Creek meets Lightner Run. The mid-1960s terrain is heavily marked by the energy industry, with numerous Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and several Pipelines traversing the ridges and valleys between Nineveh and Rutan. This industrial presence contrasts with the region's rural foundations, evidenced by the presence of a Covered Bridge on the South Fork and established spiritual centers like Beulah Ch and Hopewell Ch.

The map reveals a complex network of small waterways such as Patterson Creek and Browns Creek that defined early settlement patterns. Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant detail in the distribution of family-connected sites, including the Bates Fork Cem and Rosemont Cem. The topography also notes unique natural landmarks like Hunters Cave, located near the intersection of the Center and Gray township lines.
