2023 Map of Lynx

About this map

Ohio Brush Creek carves a winding path through this corner of Adams County, where the township roads follow the deep drainages and ridges of the Sunfish Hills. The landscape is a network of rural settlements like Lynx and Cedar Mills, which are connected by historic routes such as Steam Furnace Rd and Paradise Valley Rd. This area reflects a long-standing pattern of upland farming and small-scale community hubs, evidenced by the high density of family-named cemeteries and rural churches marking the high ground. Notable sites like Vaughns Chapel Cem and Stone Chapel Cem indicate decades of local lineage. The topography is defined by prominent features including Greenbrier Ridge and Scrub Ridge, which dictate the flow of smaller tributaries like Easter Run and Mill Creek toward the main valley.
