2010 Map of Brownsville

About this map

The Green River snakes through the center of this Edmonson County landscape, defining the topography of the region as it flows past Brownsville. The river's deep loops create distinctive landforms like Indian Hill and Potato Hill, while numerous tributaries such as Honey Creek and Beaverdam Creek carve through the surrounding terrain. Small settlements and crossroads communities like Asphalt, Grassland, and Nick are connected by a dense network of local routes, including Davis Ferry Rd and Pleasant Grove Rd. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites documented, including Holly Springs Cemetery, Alexander Cemetery, and Hawks Cemetery. The presence of Camp Joy near the river indicates the area's transition into a space for recreation and community gathering, while labels like Shipley Knob and Gulf Hollow capture the traditional place-names of this Kentucky interior.
