2016 Map of Sturgis

About this map

Sturgis serves as the primary municipal hub in this western Kentucky landscape, situated near the meeting point of Union, Crittenden, and Webster counties. The region is defined by a dense network of drainage ditches and creeks, such as Hopgood Ditch and Cypress Creek, which manage the low-lying terrain near the Tradewater River. Local history is anchored by numerous rural burial grounds including Pythian Ridge Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem, often found along named country roads like Poplar Ridge Rd and Bethel Church Rd. Small outlying settlements such as Sullivan, Pride, and Hazel dot the countryside, connected by routes that follow the natural contours of landmarks like Dyer Hills and Blueberry Hill. The presence of the Sturgis Municipal Airport and the remnants of the Railroad Bed Rd suggest the area's ongoing role as a local transportation and infrastructure corridor.
