2013 Map of Sulphur Lick

About this map

Skaggs Cr and its many tributaries carve through this central Monroe County landscape, defining a rural network of small communities and family farmsteads. The settlements of Rockbridge, Sulphur Lick, Cyclone, and Persimmon serve as the primary anchors for the area, connected by winding routes like N Page Rd and Old Sulpher Lick Rd. The high density of family cemeteries, including Wade Cem and Mosier Cem, highlights the long-standing genealogical roots of this region. Terrain features such as Piercy Hollow and Flood Catcher Hollow demonstrate the intricate drainage patterns feeding into the E Fork Barren River. This 2013 survey preserves the mid-century schoolhouse locations and established road names that reveal the local history of these close-knit Kentucky neighborhoods before further modern development shifted the agricultural footprint.
