About this map

Peebles serves as the central hub of this Adams County landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes and the rail corridor. The map reveals a deeply etched topography where Ohio Brush Creek and its many tributaries, including Little East Fork Ohio Brush Creek and West Fork Ohio Brush Creek, carve through the terrain. The area's industrial and social history is suggested by names like Marble Furnace and the Steam Furnace Cem, pointing to the early iron industry that once defined this region's economy.

Smaller settlements and rural neighborhoods like Jacksonville, Lawshe, and Locust Grove are documented alongside notable terrain features such as Tater Ridge and Deer Lick Knob. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including the Evergreen Cem and Louisville Cem, providing a precise look at the community's established landmarks and family-named points like Murphin Point.
