1953 Map of Raywick

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Rolling Fork winds through this Marion County landscape, defining the topography between the hills and the river bottoms. The settlement of Raywick serves as a central hub, where Prather Creek and Knob Creek converge with the main river. To the north, the Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts through the terrain near Saint Francis, while a Distillery on the banks of the fork points to the region's agricultural and industrial heritage. The map is a vital resource for genealogists, documenting several family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including the St Francis Xavier Cem, Sutton Cem, and the now-preserved locations of Highview Sch and Mt Washington Sch. Rising above the valley, Scotts Ridge and prominent points like Flag Knob provide a clear view of the complex drainage patterns of Salt Lick Creek and Sulphur Lick.
