1961 Map of Blue Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Blue Creek serves as a central hub for the rugged township of Jefferson in Adams County, where the Township High School and St Josephs Ch anchored the local community in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Brush Creek and its many tributaries, including Turkey Creek and Cedar Run, which carve through the Coleman Ridge and the Shawnee State Forest. The map captures a transition period for rural church life, documenting remote congregations such as White Oak Chapel, Moors Memorial Chapel, and Mt Unger Ch. For genealogists, the terrain reveals numerous family-named burial grounds like Drake Cem and Cassel Cem, as well as the small settlements of Wamsley and Jones Corner that dot the creek valleys.
