About this map

Mount Sterling serves as the central hub of this mid-century Montgomery County landscape, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain. The town shows its post-war expansion with the development of Reid Village to the southwest and the presence of the Mt Sterling-Montgomery County Airport. Several outlying communities and family-named landmarks are visible, including the small settlements of Ewington, Prewitt, and Klondike.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous burial sites across the rolling countryside, such as Machpelah Cem, St Thomas Cem, and the Gravens Cem. The educational and civic footprint of the era is marked by Mapleton Sch and the County High Sch, while the natural drainage of the region is defined by the winding paths of Hinkston Creek, Spencer Creek, and Stepstone Creek. Transport infrastructure like Howell Drennon Road and Osborne Road connect the rural acreage to the growing municipal core.
