About this map

Serpent Mound anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the headwaters of Ohio Brush Creek and Baker Fork carve through the terrain of southern Ohio. This area, spanning the intersection of Highland, Adams, and Pike counties, centers on the village of Sinking Spring. The map documents a predominantly rural and agricultural setting punctuated by numerous small family and community burial sites such as Old Dutch Cem, Countryman Cem, and Byrd Cem.

Settlement patterns follow the winding creek valleys, with small clusters at Elmville, Louden, and Lincolnville. The topography is defined by significant rises like Ft Hill, Reeds Hill, and High Knob, which overlook the complex drainage network of Strait Creek and Wenzel Run. This survey provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure, from naming individual farm-to-market roads like Walnut Shade Rd to identifying remote landmarks such as Pin Hook Hollow.
