2010 Map of Sinking Spring

About this map

Serpent Mound stands as a focal point in the southern reaches of this landscape, where the waters of Ohio Brush Creek and Weasel Run converge. The area is defined by a dense network of family and community burial grounds, including the Old Dutch Cemetery, Pisgah Cemetery, and Dunkard Ridge Cemetery, suggesting a deeply rooted local history across these Highland County hills. Small settlements like Sinking Spring, Elmville, and Louden are connected by winding township roads that follow the natural drainage of the Middle Fork Ohio Brush Creek and Baker Fork. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations such as High Knob, Fort Hill, and Jarnigan Knob, while the Sinking Spring Post Office remains a central landmark for the rural population. This survey captures a moment when the rural character remains largely intact, anchored by long-standing cemeteries and small-town junctions.
