2016 Map of Cravens

About this map

Beech Fork meanders through the southern half of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by scattered knobs and rural river bottomlands. The settlement of Cravens sits centrally along Boston Rd, serving as a focal point near specialized aviation sites like the Greene County Parachute Center Airport and Samuels Field. Local history is preserved at the Sutherland Cem near the eastern margin, while the terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Crutchers Knob, Allens Knob, and Indian Grave Ridge. The hydrography of the area is complex, with numerous drainages like Tewell Cr, Lick Cr, and Cedar Cr feeding into the larger river system. North of the river, the landscape transitions into the higher elevations of Germantown Hill and the ridge lines overlooking Harrison Cr, illustrating the deeply dissected topography of Nelson County.
