About this map

Winchester and the surrounding farmland of southern Scott County are defined by a network of family-named cemeteries and winding watercourses. Small agricultural hubs like Alsey, Glasgow, and Barrow anchor the rural landscape, connected by a grid of section-line roads and local paths such as Alsey Glasgow Rd and Winchester Glasgow. The terrain is drained by the branches of Big Sandy Creek and N Little Sandy Cr, which have carved subtle valleys through the till plain.

Genealogists will find this 2021 survey particularly valuable for its precise documentation of numerous small burial grounds, including the Miller Cem, Perkins Cem, and Carlton Cem. The map reveals the persistence of early land-division patterns, where farmsteads are still organized around features like Alsey Lake and the various branches of Little Sandy Creek as it approaches the Scott Co Greene Co border.
