2023 Map of Blue Creek

About this map

Wamsley and the surrounding hollows of eastern Adams County are defined by a complex network of ridges and watercourses, documented here in the early 2020s. The landscape is structured by prominent elevations like Behm Mtn and Coleman Ridge, with settlements clustered near the intersections of township roads and creek beds. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, including Moores Chapel Cem, Antioch Cem, and Wintersteen Cem. The drainage patterns are intricate, with South Fork Scioto Brush Creek and Turkey Creek serving as primary arteries for many smaller runs and branches such as Cassel Run and Walker Run. This modern survey records the enduring rural character of the region, from the small community at Blue Creek to the high ground of Mount Unger Ridge.
