About this map

McKee Creek and its many tributaries, including Figley Branch, Bulls Br, and Walker Branch, carve a complex drainage pattern across this portion of Adams County. The settlement of Liberty serves as a local hub near the southern edge, featuring a High Sch and several religious sites like St Brigids Cem. The landscape is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, such as Nations Cem, Coats Cem, and Grubb Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this rural township.

Upland areas like Wolf Ridge and Concord separate the creek valleys, where small clearings like Lierle and institutions such as Lost Prairie Ch are found. Distinctive land uses are visible in the north, where a Fish Hatchery and recreational sites like Camp Callahan and Camp Mohawk occupy the terrain near Ham Branch. This 1981 edition reflects a mature rural landscape where decades of local history are etched into the names of every ridge and hollow.
