About this map

Monterey serves as the focal point of this Highland County landscape, centered near the Highland County Courthouse and the historic Monterey Confederate Cem. The town sits at the intersection of the Highland Tpke and Main St, surrounded by prominent high-altitude landforms including Trimble Knob, Monterey Mtn, and the expansive Rich Hills. To the north, the Bluegrass Valley opens up between Lantz Mtn and Monterey Mtn, dotted with small settlements like Blue Grass and New Hampden.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the valley and mountain slopes, ranging from larger churchyards like Union Chapel United Methodist Church Cem to family-named sites such as the Simmons Family Cem and Daughtery Family Cem. The drainage patterns of the S Br Potomac River and its tributaries, including Laurel Run and Strait Cr, dictate the placement of early homesteads and roads through the Seybert Hills.
