2010 Map of Switzer

About this map

The Switzer Covered Bridge stands as a primary landmark in this landscape, situated near the southern edge of the quadrangle. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of the Kentucky River and its numerous tributaries, including Elkhorn Creek and Cedar Creek. This 2010 topographic record illustrates a region where rural infrastructure and historical family names persist, notably at Grugin Cemetery and across ridges like Vernon Ridge and Union Ridge. Small settlements and former milling sites such as Peaks Mill, Tacketts Mill, Elmville, and Swallowfield are connected by a network of winding local roads including Shadrick Ferry Rd and Steele Branch Rd. The presence of features like Indian Gap Hill and the distinctive O'Nan Bend along the river highlights the geographic character of this portion of Franklin County.
