2022 Map of Central City West

About this map

Central City and the surrounding coal-country landscape of Muhlenberg County are defined by a complex network of rural roads and watercourses. The map documents the eastern boundary along the Green River, where Fentress Bluff and Shrewsbury Bend create a sharp geographic contrast to the inland creek basins. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous small cemeteries such as Bethlehem Cem, New Harmony Cem, and the dual sites of Shavers Chapel United Methodist Church Cem - Old and Shavers Chapel United Methodist Church Cem - New. This modern survey reveals the persistent settlement patterns of communities like Bremen, Midland, and South Carrollton, showing how residential clusters remain tied to historical corridors like Bethlehem Church Rd and Buttermilk Rd even as industrial features like Power Plant Rd signal modern infrastructure.
