About this map

The town of Lincoln serves as the central hub of this Washington County landscape, which transitions from the waters of Lincoln Lake in the north toward the distinct elevations of Cane Hill and Dutch Mills in the south. The area’s agrarian and local history is clearly visible through a high concentration of burial grounds, including Beatty Cem, Sugar Hill Cem, and Drake Cem, which anchor the small valley settlements.

Transportation patterns reflect the shift from rail to road by the 1970s, evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade winding through the northeast. Water remains a primary feature of the terrain, with Baron Fork and Bush Fork draining the southern hills near Canehill and Clyde. This survey captures the rural character of the region just before significant modern development, preserving the locations of legacy landmarks like the Waterworks and Bean Roadside Park.
