About this map

Brush Creek State Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the ridges of Peach Mountain and Tener Mountain define the high ground of the Adams and Scioto county line. The Norfolk and Western railroad snakes through the valleys of Scioto Brush Creek and Brush Creek, connecting the small settlements of Jaybird, Beaver Pond, and Bacon Flat.

Genealogists can find several family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including the Aikens and Mustard cemeteries, alongside the Burns Chapel and Cedar Fork Ch. The presence of a Lookout Tower on Peach Mount and a Landing Strip near the confluence of Carey Hill Branch reflects the specialized land use in this heavily forested area during the early 1960s. Terrain features like Stone Quarry Ridge and the Sink Hole near Weaver Hill highlight the region's geological complexity.
