About this map

Peebles serves as the primary hub of this eastern Adams County landscape, situated where the local road network converges near the Peebles Post Office and Lewis Airport. The terrain is deeply defined by the winding course of Ohio Brush Creek, which carves through the countryside past distinctive landmarks like Horseshoe Bend and the high ground of Tater Ridge. The area's industrial past is etched into the map through settlements like Marble Furnace and Steam Furnace, reflecting the historical importance of iron production in this part of Ohio.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through several rural burial grounds, including Evergreen Cemetery, Marble Furnace Cemetery, and Louisville Cemetery. The map also details smaller communities such as Lawshe and Jacksonville, alongside the recreational waters of Mineral Springs Lake in the southeast. Numerous ridges like Wheat Ridge and Hoop Ridge frame the creek valleys, illustrating the complex topography that shaped early settlement patterns.
