1960 Map of Round Bottom

About this map

Round Bottom and the surrounding river townships in Monroe County sit at a crossing point of industry and traditional rural settlement during the mid-twentieth century. The landscape is defined by its deep ridges and runs, where small communities like Benwood, Hannibal, and Sardis are linked by winding routes over Oak Ridge and Pleasant Ridge. Along the waterways, including Sunfish Creek and Opossum Creek, the map documents the region's agricultural and industrial ties, with scattered Oil Wells and historic milling sites such as Winklers Mill.
