2016 Map of Colfax

About this map

Licking River and its winding tributaries define the landscape of eastern Bath County, where small agricultural settlements are connected by narrow valley roads and timbered ridges. This modern survey captures a region rich in family history, evidenced by numerous burial sites such as Barbers Graveyard, the Old Virginia Cemetery, and the Atchison Cem. The rugged terrain transitions into the Daniel Boone National Forest to the southeast, where Flood Mtn stands above the drainage of Cow Cr. Near the intersection of the Midland Trl and Interstate 64, the community of Owingsville serves as a gateway to the more isolated hamlets of Peasticks and Polksville. Water features like Sportsman Lake and the crossing at Prickley Ash Bridge reflect the local geography that has shaped the area's development since the early frontier era.
