Morgan's Station to Mt. Sterling South of Owingsville, the course of the Licking River falls away to the east, but there is a ridge-line of hills that point the way south. At a point just north of the site of the18th century Morgan's Station settlement, the ridge-line thins and some now lost indicator told the traveler that he was now just a few miles east of the ceremonial and economic center of this region, Mt. Sterling. For generations, travel on the Warriors Path would have involved a stop-over at Mt. Sterling. It was one of the more significant Native American settlements in this area whose existence we are aware of.
