2013 Map of Belfast

About this map

The boundary between Highland and Adams counties bisects this rural landscape, which is defined by the winding course of Ohio Brush Creek and its many tributaries. Settlement is concentrated along the state highway corridors, particularly at the crossroads of Belfast and Fairfax. The map is notably dense with family and community cemeteries, including the Walker Number 1 and Walker Number 2 cemeteries, which suggest a deep history of local farmstead burial sites. Named farms like Schweiger Farm and Diamond B Mule Farm are distributed across the hills, while the Lake of the Woods reservoir provides a central water feature. To the south, the terrain descends toward Jessup and May Hill, where small drainage basins like Flat Run and Buck Run carve through the agricultural land.
