2010 Map of Salvisa

About this map

Kentucky River meanders sharply through the heart of this central Kentucky landscape, carving deep loops between the small communities of Salvisa and Mortonsville. This 2010 survey illustrates a rural region defined by its waterway and historical family ties, as evidenced by numerous scattered burial sites including Morris Cemetery, Hawkins Cemetery, and Gray Cemetery. The settlement pattern follows the high ground above the river bluffs, with hamlets like Oregon, Nonesuch, and Bondville connected by long-established roads such as Lillards Ferry Rd and Cummins Ferry Rd, which hint at former river crossings. Along a prominent bend in the river, Camp Otonka serves as a notable landmark. The topography is further etched by a network of drainage creeks, including Clay Lick Creek and Clear Creek, which feed into the river's main channel.
