About this map

Mowrystown serves as a primary hub in this southern Highland County landscape, where the local economy and social life are anchored by the Mowrystown Post Office and nearby Mowrystown Cemetery. The terrain is defined by the branching waterways of the East Fork White Oak Creek and the Little West Fork Ohio Brush Creek, which historically dictated the placement of small agricultural settlements like Sugar Tree Ridge and Taylorsville.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of family-named burial sites, including the Van Winkle Cemetery, Gibler Cemetery, and Roberts Cemetery Number 1. These landmarks, alongside spiritual centers like Union Chapel Cemetery and Wesley Chapel Cemetery, provide a detailed record of the families who established farms near crossroads such as Winkle and East Danville before the modernization of the local road network.
