About this map

The county seat of Winchester anchors this Scott County landscape, serving as a hub for a network of rural routes and agricultural lands. The topography is defined by the drainage basins of Big Sandy Cr to the south and Mauvaise Terre Creek to the north, with the village of Merritt and the community of Riggston situated along the eastern reaches. Local family histories are deeply etched into the land through a high density of small burial grounds, including the Parks-Robinson Cem, Gillham Cem, and Young E S Mac Cem.

Interstate 72 bisects the center of the sheet, reflecting modern transit patterns that parallel older country roads like Merritt Rd and Phillips Ferry Rd. Beyond the town center, landmarks such as Freesen Lake and Walnut Cr provide focal points within the undulating terrain. This survey provides a clear view of the intersection between established 19th-century settlement patterns and 21st-century infrastructure.
