2019 Map of Junction City

About this map

Junction City serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, situated at the confluence of Rush Creek and its various tributaries. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the settled valleys of Clarksville and Crossenville into the densely wooded terrain of the Wayne National Forest to the south. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous small religious burial grounds such as the Friendship Methodist Episcopal Cem, New Lebanon Evangelical Lutheran Cem, and the Mount Zion United Brethren In Christ Cem. Local industry and geography are reflected in names like Lime Kiln Hollow and Coalbrook Hollow, while water management is evidenced by the Rush Cr Conservation District Structure Reservoir. The map captures the enduring rural character of Perry County, where small hamlets like Salem and Dixie remain connected by an intricate network of township and county roads.
