About this map

White Oak Creek meanders through the heart of this Brown County landscape, shaping the valley where the village of Hamersville and the seat at Georgetown intersect with a network of rural townships. The 2019 survey documents a deeply rooted agricultural and community fabric, marked by a high density of local burial grounds and chapels such as Farmers Chapel Cem and Browns Chapel Cem. These landmarks, along with Confidence Cem near Georgetown, offer significant genealogical data for those tracing families in southwest Ohio.

Transportation corridors like S High St and several township highways connect older settlements such as New Hope, Wahlsburg, and Shiloh. In the north, Grant Lake and its surrounding runs, including Snapping Turtle Run, contrast with the southern reaches where the terrain is punctuated by small schools and athletic grounds like McKinney Field. This topographical study preserves the modern layout of these crossroads communities, from the Brown Bridge crossing to the residential clusters of Stony Hollow.
