2012 Map of Mount Sterling

About this map

Mount Sterling City Cemetery and Mount Sterling Catholic Cemetery anchor the northern edge of this Illinois landscape, marking the established community of Mount Sterling. The map reveals a deeply rural county structure defined by a grid of numbered roads and named farm lanes that connect small clusters like Fargo and Buckhorn. Genealogy interests are well-served by the density of family-named burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Cleaves Cem, Butler Cem, and Dearborn Cem. The southern reach of the survey is shaped by the winding course of McKee Cr and Dry Fork, where the elevation drops into Cronin Hollow and Sarrah Hollow. Infrastructure like the Mount Sterling Municipal Airport and the Gerrish Bridge across the creek show the modern developments alongside the older rural homesteads and camps such as Two Rivers Camp.
