About this map

Mount Zion and the surrounding rural landscape of the Bluegrass region are documented in this 2019 survey, where Bourbon, Clark, and Montgomery counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Stoner Creek and its many tributaries, including Donaldson Cr and Little Stoner Cr, which have shaped the local topography into the prominent Sugar Ridge. The map illustrates a network of historic transit corridors such as Paris Pike, Mount Sterling RD, and Chiles Hwy, which connect small crossroads communities and family settlements.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several scattered burial sites, including Greene Cem, Hayden Cem, and the Prewitt Cem near the western edge. Notable infrastructure includes the Grassy Lick Bridge and Ecton Pike Bridge, marking essential crossings for the agricultural economy. The small settlements of Sideview, Sewell Shop, and Grassy Lick represent the enduring rural character of this intersection of three Kentucky counties.
