About this map

Green River Lake dominates the northern reaches of this Adair County landscape, where the waters back into Butler Creek and Sandy Creek. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of the Green River as it snakes through Lemon Bend and Hibbs Bend, eventually meeting the impounded lake. This 1970s revision captures the area's rural transition, marking the locations of long-standing family landmarks and religious centers such as Cane Valley Ch, Mt Pleasant Ch, and Charity Ch.

Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of several burial grounds, most notably the Green River Hill Confederate Cem and various family plots like Faulkner Cem and Bridgewater Cem. The settlement pattern follows the local topography, with communities like Cane Valley, Kellyville, and Caburg situated along the divides between the Green River and Russell Creek drainages. Natural landmarks such as Saltpeter Cave and the Faulkner Sulphur Spring further define this central Kentucky environment.
