About this map

Ohio Brush Creek meanders through this section of Adams County, carving a valley between prominent elevations like Scrub Ridge and Greenbrier Ridge. The settlement of Lynx serves as a central point in a landscape defined by its network of winding roads and numerous family and community burial sites. These cemeteries, including Vaughns Chapel Cem, United Brethren Cem, and Mount Armenia Cem, are scattered across the uplands, offering significant genealogical data for those tracing local lineages.

Distinctive landmarks such as Buzzardroost Rock overlook the drainages of Soldiers Run and Easter Run, while smaller hamlets like Dunkinsville, Cedar Mills, and Wheat Ridge anchor the rural crossroads. The geography is further detailed by narrow hollows and runs, such as Freelan Hollow and Murphy Gut Run, which feed into the primary creek system. This 2019 survey provides a precise look at the modern rural layout, preserving the names of local infrastructure like Page School RD and Steam Furnace RD.
