About this map

Hamersville and New Hope anchor this Brown County landscape, where small crossroads settlements and family burial grounds are linked by a dense network of country roads. The hydrology of the region is defined by the winding course of White Oak Creek and its many tributaries, including Sterling Run and Unity Creek. Significant local landmarks include the Grant Lake Dam and several historic places of worship and rest, such as Browns Chapel and the Wardlow Cemetery.

The presence of the Feesburg Post Office and the Brown County Airport indicates the persistent rural infrastructure serving these communities. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for numerous cemeteries like Hendrixson Cemetery, Young Cemetery, and Confidence Cemetery. These sites, along with established leisure locations like Buttermilk Falls Golf Course, illustrate the evolution of the area from a series of 19th-century farming hamlets into a modern rural-residential corridor.
