1961 Map of Blue Creek

About this map

The rugged hill country of the Virginia Military District dominates this 1960s landscape, where small communities like Blue Creek and Wamsley sit within the narrow valleys of Scioto Brush Creek and its many tributaries. This terrain is characterized by steep ridges such as Peach Mtn and Coleman Ridge, largely preserved within the Brush Creek State Forest and Shawnee State Forest. The settlement pattern follows the water, with family and community life centered around local landmarks like the Township High Sch and St Josephs Ch.
