About this map

South Fork Scioto Brush Creek and its many winding tributaries define the topography of this southern Ohio landscape. The settlement at Blue Creek serves as a central hub, anchored by the Blue Creek Post Office and the convergence of Mill Creek and Churn Creek. The region is marked by numerous family-named hollows and ridges, such as Coon Hollow, Spires Hollow, and Mount Unger Ridge, reflecting a long history of local settlement along the creek beds and valley floors.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the density of well-preserved burial grounds throughout the countryside. From the Antioch Cemetery in the north to the Winterstein Cemetery and Berea Cemetery in the south, these sites are often located near historic church locations like Moores Chapel Cemetery. The small community of Wamsley and the outlier at Pink further illustrate the dispersed rural network of this portion of Adams County.
