2019 Map of Mays Lick

About this map

The North Fork Licking River meanders through this Mason County landscape, carving a deep valley that separates the rural plateaus. In the northern reaches, the community of Old Washington and the southern outskirts of Maysville sit near the headwaters of Lawrence Creek and Limestone Creek. This region is characterized by its agricultural heritage, evidenced by the network of pikes and farm roads like Tobacco Road and Ford Acres Farm Road that connect outlying settlements such as Mays Lick and Lewisburg. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Patricks Cemetery and Finch Cemetery, while the terrain is defined by the numerous watercourses, including Wells Creek and Lees Creek, that drain into the central river system. The convergence of established routes like Main Street and the Flemingsburg Mayslick Road highlights the area's long-standing role as a crossroads for central Kentucky commerce.
