2014 Map of Ripley

About this map

Ripley serves as the central hub of this Jackson County landscape, where the confluence of Mill Creek and Sycamore Creek shaped the early development of the town. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys and ridges typical of the region, with small communities like Sidneyville, Parchment Valley, and Shatto linked by a network of winding county roads. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with family history markers, including the Old Ripley Cem, Settlers Cem, and Pine Hill Cem within the town limits, as well as outlying sites like Jordan Cem and Hall Cem. The prominence of Hargreave Knob and Reynolds Hill underscores the undulating terrain that dictates the layout of local infrastructure, including the McGinley Memorial Bridge. This 2014 edition captures the balance between the established municipal center of Ripley and the surrounding rural landscape defined by its many hollows and ridges.
