2010 Map of Mount Sterling

About this map

Mount Sterling and Seneca anchor this Crawford County landscape, where the topography is defined by a series of high ridges and deep hollows characteristic of the Driftless Area. The map documents a rural environment organized around family-named features and local heritage sites, including Mickelson Ridge, Boma Ridge, and Sime Ridge. Waterways such as North Branch Copper Creek and Halls Branch carve through the elevation, while the Blackhawk-Kickapoo Project G8735.2 Dam indicates mid-century watershed management efforts. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including the Saint Patricks Cemetery near Seneca and the Pioneer Cemetery east of Mount Sterling. The network of local roads, such as Taylor Ridge Rd and Olson Feed Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting the small settlements of Fairview and Pleasant Ridge to the larger agricultural community.
