2018 Map of Versailles

About this map

Versailles and Mount Sterling anchor the southern and northern reaches of this Brown County landscape, where the terrain is deeply carved by the drainage networks of McKee Creek and Logan Cr. The area is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research. These include the Icabod Perry Cem, Huffman Cem, and Logsdon Number 1 Cem, many of which are situated on the rising ground above the creek bottoms. Near the settlement of Gilbirds, the land transitions toward Wheeler Ridge, while the southeastern corner features Versailles Springs and the Hambaugh-Martin Number Five Reservoir. This network of rural roads and scattered hamlets like Hersman and Jaques reflects a long-standing agricultural pattern defined by the rugged local topography.
