About this map

Mount Sterling serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the junction where several regional roads converge near the northern edge of Deer Creek Lake. The map reveals a dense network of family-named cemeteries and small rural settlements that define the local genealogy of the area. Locations such as Madison Mills, Chenoweth, and Yankeetown are connected by a web of township and county highways, reflecting a longstanding agricultural and residential pattern.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Deer Creek and its various tributaries, including Duffs Fork and North Fork Paint Creek, carving paths through the terrain. Researchers will find numerous small burial sites, such as the Bostwick-Loofbourrow Cem and Leavell Cem, which provide specific points of interest for those tracing local history across the boundaries of Madison, Fayette, and Pickaway counties.
