2019 Map of Salvisa

About this map

Kentucky River meanders sharply through the heart of this central Kentucky landscape, carving deep topographic relief into the borders of Anderson, Woodford, and Mercer counties. The sharp oxbows at Oregon Bend and Chapman Bend define the river's path, where the small river settlement of Oregon sits nestled along the banks. Further inland, the high ground is dotted with small communities and family burial grounds that anchor the local heritage, including Mortonsville, Salvisa, and Nonesuch. The transport network relies heavily on historical river crossings, evidenced by roads like Lillards Ferry Rd, McCowans Ferry Rd, and Scotts Ferry Rd. These routes connect the rural reaches to significant local landmarks such as The Polk Memorial Church Cem and Ebenezer Church Cem, preserving a legacy of early Bluegrass settlements and family homesteads.
