About this map

Pisgah Lookout Tower stands as a central landmark in this topographical study of Wayne County, overlooking a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and deep hollows. The settlement of Parmleysville serves as a primary hub in the east, while Mount Pisgah and Burfield anchor the central and northern reaches. The area is heavily marked by family history, evident in the numerous burial grounds such as the Lewis Coffey Family Cem, Butler Foster Cem, and Gregory Corder Cem.

Transport and topography are intertwined along the winding Beaver Cr and Johnson Fork, where roads like Old Parmleysville-Burfield Rd follow the natural contours of ridges like Jim Phipps Ridge and Ball Ridge. Distinctive natural features including The Big Deer Lick, Raccoon Johnny Smith Spring, and Bat Cave Cliff highlight the diverse terrain. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and small cemeteries like the Hucaby Eaton Cem and Sallee Cem, which dot the hillsides away from the main thoroughfares.
