About this map

The Green River carves a winding path through Hart County in this 2013 survey, creating dramatic geological formations like Horseshoe Bend, Watkins Bend, and Sims Bend. This portion of Kentucky is defined by its karst topography and prominent high points, including Grindstone Knob, Three Kiln Knob, and Frenchman Knob, which rise above the surrounding hollows. Small agrarian settlements and historic crossroads are scattered across the landscape, connected by a network of rural routes such as Cedar Knob Rd and Crump Cemetery Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find several established communities and family landmarks, from the village of Canmer and Hardyville to the isolated Crump Cem. The map documents the rural character of the region just before mid-decade, showing the relationship between the river islands like Woods Island and Ray Island and the upland farms. This record provides a clear view of the topography of Glen Lily and Hinesdale, where natural features like Buckner Spring have long served as vital local resources.
