2010 Map of Creelsboro

About this map

Cumberland River bends sharply through the southern reaches of this landscape, defining the fertile lowlands of Wells Bottom, Salt Lick Bottom, and Long Bottom. The settlement of Creelsboro sits just north of the river, serving as a focal point for a network of rural roads that connect smaller communities like Ribbon and Manntown. The terrain is characterized by high ridges such as Chestnut Flat Ridge and Simpson Ridge, which are dissected by numerous waterways including Crocus Creek and Millers Creek. This 2010 survey documents a resilient rural structure where family and community landmarks remain central. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Ragen Cemetery near Crocus or the Dixon Cemetery situated between Olga and Old Olga. The map tracks the winding paths of several branches and forks, such as Glens Fork and Liberty Creek, illustrating the complex drainage system feeding into the primary river valley.
