2019 Map of Fredericksburg

About this map

Apple Creek and Fredericksburg anchor this 2019 survey of the Wayne and Holmes County line, a region defined by its dispersed agricultural settlements and numerous small family burial grounds. The landscape is deeply carved by watercourses like Salt Creek and Little Sugar Creek, which separate high-ground farms from the valley floors. Genealogists will find a high density of private farm cemeteries, such as the Peter Miller Farm Cem, Joseph Helmuth Farm Cem, and Noah Petersheim Cem, indicating a long-standing tradition of multi-generational land ownership. The presence of Davies Air Field northwest of Apple Creek contrasts the otherwise traditional rural character of the area. Small hamlets like Maysville and Calamoutier dot the intersections of township roads, while Spring Valley Lake and Meadow Lake provide recreational or agricultural water resources amidst the rolling terrain.
