2013 Map of Round Bottom

About this map

The Ohio River forms the eastern boundary of this region in Monroe County, defining the transport and settlement patterns of riverside towns like Hannibal and Sardis. Moving inland, the landscape is characterized by a dense network of ridges such as Tisher Ridge, Baptist Ridge, and Pleasant Ridge, many of which host long-standing community landmarks. The map reveals a high concentration of historic religious and burial sites, including the Saint James Lutheran Cem, Mt Sinai Methodist Cem, and the Mt Zion Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical heritage of Green Township. Portions of the Wayne National Forest cover the western terrain, where smaller settlements like Round Bottom and Morton are connected by winding routes such as State Rte 536 and Oh-255. Evidence of early industrial and agricultural activity persists in names like Winklers Mill and Dairy, while the rugged creek valleys of Sunfish Creek and Cranenest Fork dictate the area's geography.
