1961 Map of Rokeby Lock

About this map

The Muskingum River corridor in Morgan County defines this early 1960s landscape, where river-dependent infrastructure like Rokeby Lock sits adjacent to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. This region is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Dutch Hill Cem, Anderson Cem, and Locust Grove Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The terrain transitions from the river valley into the wooded ridges of the Wayne National Forest. Rural life is centered around small crossroads like Eagleport, Tridelphia, and Morganville. Along the riverbanks, mid-century culture is represented by the Drive-in Theater, while the presence of scattered Gas Wells indicates the ongoing extractive economy that shaped the interior townships of York, Bloom, and Deerfield.
