2024 Map of Baylis

About this map

The village of Baylis serves as a primary hub for this section of Pike County, where local roads such as W 2nd St and the Baylis Black Top Rd intersect. The landscape is defined by its deep agricultural and genealogical history, evidenced by a high density of small family and community burial grounds scattered across the countryside. From the Starkey Cem in the northeast to the Brawley - Iftner - Orr Cem in the south, these sites trace the lineage of early settlers near Hadley and El Dara. Drainage for these fields is provided by Kiser Creek and Bull Run, while smaller water features like Rising Spring Orchard Lake and Farm Pond punctuate the grid of township roads. This modern survey preserves the locations of numerous historic landmarks, including the McWorter Cem and Pursley Cem, which remain vital points of reference for local historians and genealogists.
