About this map

Green River State Game Land dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the Green River carves through the dramatic gorge known as The Narrows. This terrain, situated along the Henderson and Polk County line, is defined by the steep descent of the Blue Ridge escarpment, including features like Bradley Falls and the high peaks of Cliffield Mtn and Rich Mountain.

Settlement patterns follow the more accessible northwest corner near Dana, where local life is anchored by the Dana Sch, Edith Grove Ch, and family landmarks such as the Stepp Cem and Jones Cem. The presence of Mill Corner and several named creeks like Hungry River and Big Branch suggests a history of water-powered industry and mountain farming. Remote outposts like Mount Valley and Macedonia Ch illustrate the dispersed nature of these upland communities as they existed in the late 1990s.
