About this map

Rolling Fork winds through the heart of this Marion County landscape, defining the geography of Raywick and surrounding rural communities. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage networks where Sulphur Lick Cr, Slate Cr, and Cherry Run carve through the uplifted knobs and ridges. Prominent landmarks such as Flag Knob, Bald Knob, and Scotts Ridge offer significant elevation above the creek bottoms, while the dramatic loop of Horseshoe Bend highlights the river's serpentine path.

Local history is etched into the landscape through family-named roads and established parish sites. Researchers will find the Saint Francis Xavier Cem near the settlement of Saint Francis, and the Sutton Cem further south. The map documents the rural infrastructure connecting Loretto and Saint Joseph, showcasing a network of routes like St Francis-Raywick Rd and Howardstown Rd that reflect the area's long-standing agricultural and community ties.
