About this map

West Union serves as the focal point of this Adams County landscape, anchored by the Adams County Courthouse and the nearby Alexander Salamon Airport. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including Spencer Hill, Cave Hill, and Coon Hill, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Spencer Hill Rd and Cave Hill Rd. Waterways such as Lick Fork and Hannah Run drain the surrounding ridges, while the Kirker Bridge provides a notable crossing point for local transit.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites documented across the countryside, ranging from the central Independent Order of Oddfellows Cem to more remote locations like Pumpkin Ridge Cem, Lovejoy Cem, and Nixon Cem. The mapping of the Hawk Loop Trail and Pine Barren Loop reflects modern recreational use of the wooded hillsides near Bald Hill, showcasing how the land around the settlement of Beasley Fork has transitioned through various phases of development and conservation.
