1953 Map of Sulphur Lick

About this map

The hills of Monroe and Metcalfe counties are deeply etched by the East Fork Barren River and Skaggs Creek, creating a landscape defined by hollows and isolated ridges. This rural Kentucky community, as it appeared in the mid-20th century, is anchored by small settlements like Sulphur Lick and Rockbridge. The social fabric of the era is evident in the high density of neighborhood schools and churches, such as Union Hill Sch, Hamilton Sch, and Philippi Ch.
