About this map

Licking Creek and its many tributaries, including Patterson Creek and Owl Creek, define the drainage patterns of this Fulton County landscape during the late twentieth century. The topography is dominated by the parallel ridges of Scrub Ridge and Meadow Grounds Mountain, which isolate the central valley containing Meadow Grounds Lake. This protected interior is largely encompassed by State Game Lands No 53, reflecting a land-use pattern focused on conservation and recreation amidst the steep terrain.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural religious and burial sites, from the northern Asbury Ch near Green Hill to the Union Ch and Big Spring Cem in the south. The presence of The Supreme Council of the House of Jacob along the western slopes of Scrub Ridge provides a specific point of interest for local history researchers. Development remains concentrated in small valley settlements like Harrisonville and the western edge of McConnellsburg, where the road network follows the natural contours of the ridges.
