1960 Map of Roundhead

About this map

Indian Lake and the northern reaches of Indian Lake State Park dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where numerous named islands like Seminole Island and Long Island suggest a developed recreational geography. In the early 1960s, the village of Roundhead serves as a local hub near the Scioto River, while the New York Central rail line cuts through the southeastern corner near Belle Center. The rural interior is defined by a systematic grid of township roads and agricultural drainage, including the Military River and several gravel pits. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named cemeteries and rural institutions, such as McArthur Cem, Old Fairview Cem, and Mt Zion Ch, which anchor the small crossroads of Jumbo and Jump. The presence of the Nickell Landing Field near the river indicates the period's small-scale aviation footprint in Hardin and Logan Counties.
