2022 Map of Sulphur Lick

About this map

Sulphur Lick and its surrounding hill country define the rural landscape of this Monroe County quadrangle. The terrain is deeply carved by the waters of Skaggs Cr and the E Fork Barren River, creating a network of ridges and hollows such as Piercy Hollow and Hurt Hollow. Small crossroads and communities like Persimmon, Rockbridge, and Cyclone are connected by a winding web of named roads, many bearing family names that reflect the area's deep-rooted settlement history. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich with small burial grounds, ranging from the Pleasant Hill Church Cem to private family plots like the Miller Farm Cem and Gee - Harvey Cem. The prominence of features like the Old Skaggs Creek Cem alongside active throughways like Edmonton Rd highlights the persistence of local heritage in this part of Kentucky.
