About this map

Mowrystown and the village of Sugar Tree Ridge anchor this landscape along the border of Highland and Brown counties. The terrain is defined by the drainage of East Fork White Oak Creek in the northwest and Little West Fork Ohio Brush Creek in the southeast, reflecting a region deeply tied to its rural cemeteries and crossroads settlements. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial sites, including Roberts Cem Number 1, Rogers Cem, and Van Winkle Cem.

The road network, including W New Market Rd and Fair Ridge Rd, connects old community centers like Taylorsville and East Danville. The presence of numerous historical churches such as Wesley Chapel Cem and Union Chapel Cem suggests the long-standing social fabric of these farming townships. Smaller waterways like Plum Run and Sugar Run wind through the hills, providing a detailed look at the local topography as it stood in the early 21st century.
