1961 Map of Belfast

About this map

Belfast serves as the focal point for this rural southern Ohio landscape, situated where Ohio Brush Creek and Lick Run converge. The area is defined by its deep spiritual and community roots, evident in the numerous country churches such as Burnetts Chapel, Union Chapel, and Zion Ch that dot the countryside. For genealogists and family historians, the map provides precise locations for many small burial grounds, including the numbered Walker No 1 Cem and Walker No 2 Cem, as well as the Old Concord Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into the Tranquility State Wildlife Area, marking a shift from the agrarian settlements of Berrysville, Fairfax, and May Hill toward preserved natural terrain near the Highland and Adams County line.
