2013 Map of Winchester

About this map

Winchester and the surrounding rural landscapes of Adams and Brown Counties are documented here as they appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Wilson Cem, Horner Cem, and Independence Cem, which dot the upland ridges between significant watercourses like the W Fork Ohio Brush Cr and Elk Fork. This concentration of cemeteries provides a valuable spatial record for genealogists tracing ancestral lines in the settlements of Fincastle, Macon, and Emerald. The local topography is defined by the transition from agricultural plateaus to the drainages of the W Fork Eagle Cr, with Carson Hill standing as a notable point of elevation. Modern infrastructure, specifically the Appalachian Hwy and Us-62, cuts through the older grid of country lanes like Dixon Rd and Burton Rd.
