About this map

Little Missouri Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Missouri Creek and the South Branch, carve deep valleys through this part of the Schuyler and Brown County line. The settlement at Mound Station and the rural center at Damon anchor a landscape defined by an intricate grid of county roads, such as Pea Ridge Rd and Washington School Rd. Local history is deeply embedded in the land here, evidenced by numerous family and pioneer burial grounds scattered across the terrain.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of secluded sites like Becam Cem, Clark Campbell Cem, and the Glasgow Farm Cem. The southeastern corner of the map features the namesake Lake Mount Sterling, which is fed by the South Fork Shelby Creek. This drainage pattern into the Shelby Creek system illustrates the transition from the rugged creek breaks in the north to the more managed water resources in the south near the county line.
