About this map

The Green River winds through this Central Kentucky landscape, dominated by the waters of Green River Lake State Park and the prominent elevations of Muldraugh Hill. In the mid-1980s, the region around Campbellsville and Columbia-Adair County Airport reflects a mix of traditional agriculture and specialized industrial activity, evidenced by the Magnolia Gas Storage Field and an Underground Gas Storage Field.

Transit networks are well-defined, with the Seaboard System railroad and the Cumberland Parkway bisecting the terrain. Small rural centers like Phillipsburg, Magnolia, and Knifley serve as local anchors, while the distinct topography of Chicken Gizzard Ridge and Dividing Ridge shapes the distribution of farmsteads. These physical features, combined with scattered country landmarks like Seven Hill Ch and Union Ch, provide a detailed picture of the region's mid-century rural development and resource management.
