About this map

The boundary between Green and Adair counties is defined here by the winding course of the Green River, which forms dramatic oxbows at Tibbs Bend and Lemon Bend. A significant portion of the landscape is dominated by the waters of Green River Lake, where inundation has reshaped the valley's character, leaving only the higher elevations like Taylor Ridge and Pike Ridge above the water line.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the presence of the Green River Hill Confederate Cem near the river, along with numerous family burial grounds such as Faulkner Cem and Guinn Cem. The settlement of Cane Valley serves as a local hub, supported by a network of rural churches including Cane Valley Ch and Mt Pleasant Ch. This survey illustrates a rural Kentucky economy transitioning with the introduction of major water infrastructure while maintaining its deep-rooted connection to family landmarks and small community centers like Coburg and Kellyville.
