About this map

Center and Crailhope anchor this rural landscape where the boundaries of Hart, Metcalfe, and Green counties converge. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Little Barren River, which carves distinctive landforms including The Narrows and Horseshoe Bend. Away from the river, the terrain rises toward Crail Hill and Pilot Knob, while the mysterious Hundred Acre Pond sits near the settlement of Pascal.

For genealogists and local historians, the area is exceptionally dense with family-named burial sites. Numerous small cemeteries, such as Nathan Dishman Cem, McGlasson Cem, and Hedgespeth Cem, are scattered across the hillsides and valley floors. Rural religious life is centered at the Macedonia Baptist Church and Bethel Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which serve the dispersed communities of Monroe and Whickerville. The road network follows the undulating terrain, connecting historically significant crossroads and local landmarks.
