About this map

Mount Sterling serves as the central hub for this 1950s survey of eastern Kentucky, where the Midland Trail and the Ohio and Chesapeake roadway intersect. The town core is highly detailed, showing local infrastructure like the High Sch, Mapleton Sch, and the County Training Sch, alongside several historic burial grounds including Machpelah Cem and St Thomas Cem.

The surrounding Montgomery County landscape is defined by the winding paths of Hinkston Creek and Somerset Creek, which carve through the terrain near smaller settlements like Ewington and Klondike. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family-named landmarks and rural cemeteries scattered across the hills, such as Cravens Cem and Magowan Cem, reflecting the area's deep-rooted agricultural and community structure during the post-war era.
