1961 Map of Jaybird

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Brush Creek State Forest dominates this section of the Virginia Military District, where the rugged terrain of the Appalachian Plateau meets the drainage of Scioto Brush Creek. The landscape is a complex network of ridges and hollows, including Hackleshin Ridge and Moon Ridge, punctuated by family landmarks and small hilltop settlements. In the southwest, the recreational and mineral character of the area is evident around Mineral Springs Lake and the community of Mineral Springs. Genealogists will find several remote burial sites such as Peach Mountain Cem and Aikens Cem, which serve as vital markers of early upland settlement. Industrial and transit features include the General Electric Landing Strip and a Lookout Tower on Peach Mountain, reflecting mid-century forest management and private aviation infrastructure.
