2019 Map of Belfast

About this map

The boundary between Highland Co and Adams Co divides this rural landscape, which is defined by the winding course of Ohio Brush Creek and its many tributaries. The area is dotted with small settlements like Belfast, Folsom, and Fairfax, which serve as the primary hubs for a network of township and county roads. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Hurst Cem, Hastings Cem, and Frazer Cem, are scattered throughout the hills, providing a detailed record of the families who settled this part of Southern Ohio. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Ohio Brush Creek headwaters and the Lake of the Woods, while the southern reaches descend toward Jessup and May Hill. These features reveal a long-standing pattern of dispersed agricultural settlement along the ridges and creek valleys.
