2013 Map of Sideview

About this map

Mount Zion and the surrounding Bluegrass plateau are defined by a complex network of creeks and ridge-top settlements in the early 21st century. The landscape is carved by the meandering Stoner Cr and its tributaries, including Little Stoner Cr and Donaldson Cr, which historically shaped the agricultural and transport corridors of the region. Distinctive small communities like Sideview, Pleasant Ridge, and Sewell Shop are connected by a web of historically named routes such as Prewitt Grassy Lick Pike and Wades Mill Rd. Local heritage is preserved in several family burial grounds, including the Prewitt Cem and Hayden Cem, while the name L and E Junction points to the area's rail history. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Sugar Ridge down toward the bottomlands of Goose Cr and Grassy Lick Cr, reflecting a rural character that persists despite the modern highway infrastructure crossing the central part of the quadrangle.
