The following historic placenames are from the Robert M. Rennick Manuscript Collection at Morehead State University.

Montgomery County Placenames
Bath County Placenames (Bath was part of Montgomery 1797 to 1811)
Clark County Placenames (Montgomery was part of Clark 1792 to 1797)

The following placenames are from the US Geological Service's database of places.

One of the benefits of this database is the ability to copy & paste the Latitude and Longitude coordinates into Google Maps and see exactly where the place is located. Another nice feature is the coordinates are shown for the "source" aka "headwaters" of a stream.
