About this map

The Green River meanders through Hart County, creating a landscape of dramatic bends and river islands that defined the development of local riverfront communities. Near the settlement of Canmer, the waterway forms tight curves like Thomas Bend and Sims Bend, providing natural boundaries for early farmland. The terrain is characterized by numerous knobs, such as Frenchman Knob and Grindstone Knob, which rise above the hollows and river bottomlands.

Genealogists can find the Crump Cemetery located near Hinesdale, while the southern portion of the area is anchored by the community of Hardyville. The map illustrates a dense network of local roads, including Bolton School Rd and Howard Scott Rd, which connect rural hamlets like Rio and Glen Lily. This survey documents a traditional Kentucky landscape where topography and water access dictated the placement of homesteads and the naming of landmarks like Moonshine Hollow and Boiling Springs Hollow.
