1960 Map of Roundhead

About this map

The Virginia Military District boundary divides the agricultural landscape of Hardin County in this 1960 survey, a region where the headwaters of the Scioto River and the Great Miami River nearly meet. Small agricultural settlements like Roundhead, Jump, and Jumbo anchor the township divisions, connected by a network of rural roads such as Zimmerman Road and Fleece Road. The map documents numerous pioneer burial sites including Hinkle Cem and Old Fairview Cem, alongside rural congregations at Pleasant Hill Ch and Mt Zion Ch. To the southwest, the recreational character of Indian Lake State Park is visible, featuring various named landforms like Sassafras Point and Pony Island. The drainage patterns, managed through the Military Ditch, reveal the historical effort to transform this marshy headwater area into productive farmland.
