Eskalapia

Eskalapia is a Shawnee name preserved among the hills and hollows south of the Ohio River. A high ridge, a hollow and springs share the name in this dissected upland. The Salt Lick Creek branch of an old warrior trail passed through the area, linking the Ohio shore with routes across Kentucky. Eskalapia Mountain rises above the surrounding valleys, a landmark in a country traversed by Indigenous travelers long before European settlement.
