1951 Map of Buena Vista

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Ohio River dominates the southwestern corner of this mid-century landscape, where the Adams Co Lewis Co boundary follows the river's path. River navigation is anchored by Dam No 32, while the rugged hills above are largely preserved within the Shawnee State Forest. This area of the Ohio-Kentucky border reveals a network of small upland communities and rural landmarks, including the Twin Creek Lookout Tower perched on Blackburn Ridge. The topography is defined by narrow hollows and runs, such as Demazie Hollow and Buttermilk Fork, which dictate the placement of local settlements like Sunshine and Buena Vista. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of vital community centers like Churn Creek Ch, the Twin Creek Mission, and Aills Chapel, alongside the dual naming of Rome (Stout PO).
