About this map

Bible Grove and the surrounding farm country are documented here in the mid-1960s, showing a landscape defined by the branching tributaries of the Fabius River system. The settlement of Bible Grove sits near a marked Cem, while further south, Adair marks the lower portion of the sheet. This rural region is organized by several large townships, including Mount Pleasant, Independence, Clay, and Greensburg, which span the borders of Scotland, Adair, and Knox Counties.

A network of watercourses, such as the South Fork Middle Fabius River and the North Fork Middle Fabius River, carves through the rolling topography. Local community life is anchored by landmarks like the Pleasant Ridge Ch, situated along the ridges between the deep-set creek beds of Bee Branch and Nick Branch. The map illustrates a highly dissected landscape where agriculture is concentrated on the higher ground between the numerous wooded stream valleys.
