About this map

Peebles serves as a central hub in this corner of Adams County, where the village is connected to neighboring communities like Jacksonville and Locust Grove via Oh-41. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Ohio Brush Creek and its many tributaries, including Shimer Run and West Fork Ohio Brush Creek. To the east, Mineral Springs Lake and Plum Run shape the local topography, while prominent elevations such as Deer Lick Knob and Hoop Ridge rise above the valley floors.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Evergreen Cem and Steam Furnace Cem near the Steam Furnace settlement. The map documents rural infrastructure ranging from the small Lewis Airport to established farming areas like Wheat Ridge. Names like Marble Furnace and Steam Furnace hint at the area's industrial heritage, even as the land transitioned toward a mix of agriculture and recreation by the early 21st century.
