1969 Map of Sturgis
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Sturgis serves as a focal point of commerce and transit in western Kentucky, where the Illinois Central Railroad and several prominent roads converge. The landscape is defined by its agricultural and industrial character, featuring the Sturgis Airport and a large Strip Mine near the Union and Webster County line. Local community life is deeply etched into the topography through a high density of rural institutions, such as Wallace School and numerous house of worship and burial grounds including Bethany Ch, Salem Cem, and Pythian Ridge Cem. The transition from the developed town to the surrounding hills is marked by landmarks like Blueberry Hill and the Fairgrounds. The presence of several Oil Wells and an extensive network of drainage features like Corbett Ditch reflect a land heavily managed for both extraction and cultivation.
