USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
Sisters of Loretto Convent stands as a central landmark in this mid-century portrait of Marion and Nelson Counties, anchoring the community of Nerinx. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Beech Fork and the intricate drainage of Pottinger Creek and Hardins Creek. This survey captures a rural Kentucky Catholic heartland, where parish life and education are evidenced by Holy Cross Ch, St Mark Ch, and St Francis High Sch.
