2016 Map of Germantown

About this map

Germantown and Minerva anchor this rural landscape in the mid-2010s, where the winding boundary between Bracken Co and Mason Co cuts through a dense network of ridges and creek valleys. The topography is defined by the dendritic drainage of several prominent waterways, including Bracken Creek, Lee Creek, and Raccoon Creek. These streams have historically dictated the placement of many local routes, such as Clarks Run Rd and Lees Creek Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where small clusters like Fernleaf are connected by a web of family-named lanes and pikes, including Bess Rd and T Wenz Rd. A notable landmark in the northern section is Jackpot Lake, one of the few significant standing water bodies in this predominantly agricultural region.
