About this map

The meandering course of White Oak Creek dominates this 1960 landscape in southern Brown County, carving a deep valley through the agricultural uplands of the Virginia Military District. In Hamersville, the intersection of transport and community is evident at Liming Park and the nearby Hamersville Cem. The map documents a transition in local infrastructure, most notably the Old R R Grade tracing a path toward the southwest, indicating the former rail presence that once linked these rural hamlets.

Smaller settlements like New Hope, Feesburg, and Wahlsburg are meticulously detailed, showing the placement of rural institutions such as the Township Sch and Fairview Chapel. To the north, Lake Grant and Snapping Turtle Run provide distinct hydrological landmarks. For genealogists, the map is a primary resource for locating family-named cemeteries such as Warner Cem, Ralsten Cem, and Confidence Cem near Georgetown.
