1970 Map of Rome

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep, winding path through this 1970 landscape, defining the boundary between Perry County, Indiana, and Breckinridge County, Kentucky. On the northern banks, the hills of the Hoosier National Forest rise sharply, dotted with family names like Riggs Hill and Tom Bryant Hill. The community of Rome sits at a prominent bend in the river, serving as a focal point for a region characterized by rugged ridges and numerous small cemeteries, including Schraner Cem, Maier Cem, and Wegenast Cem. Across the water in Kentucky, the Louisville and Nashville railroad follows the riverbank, connecting small riverbank settlements like Stephensport, Addison, and Sample. The map reveals a deeply etched topography where Poison Creek and Deer Creek have carved significant valleys, while the German Ridge Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the forested highlands to the north.
