1979 Map of Scotland

About this map

The White River and its major tributary, Plummer Creek, define the topography of this Greene County landscape, where the flatlands of Bogard Bottoms meet the rising terrain of Brinegar Ridge. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the massive U S Naval Reservation Weapons Support Center occupies a significant footprint, including the area around Crane. This late 1970s survey documents a rural economy of oil wells and scattered farmsteads connected by a grid of numbered roads like 1650 North Road. Cultural landmarks are numerous, including a historic Covered Bridge near Mineral City and a local Drive-in Theater. Genealogists will find many family-named burial sites and congregations, such as Hicks Cem, Smith Bethel Cem, and Simpson Chapel, providing a clear record of the community's settlement patterns and established families along the Conrail rail line.
