1954 Map of Switzer

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The winding Kentucky River and its tributary, Elkhorn Creek, define this central Kentucky landscape in the mid-1950s. The terrain is a complex network of ridges and bottoms, most notably Mount Vernon Ridge and Union Ridge, which hem in local settlements like Peaks Mill and Switzer. One of the most distinctive features is the U S Fish Cultural Station, situated in a deep oxbow of Elkhorn Creek. Historically, the area relied on ferries for river crossings, as evidenced by Mc Donald Ferry Road and Shadrack Ferry Road. Local community life is anchored by landmarks like Camp Pleasant Ch, Bethel Ch, and the High Sch at Peaks Mill. For genealogists, the map preserves the names of family burial grounds and legacy sites such as Carr Cem, Grugin Cem, and Tacketts Mill.
