About this map

The Cumberland River carves a deep path through Russell County, defining the fertile lowlands of Wells Bottom, Long Bottom, and Swan Pond Bottom. This landscape is marked by the sharp contrast between the river's winding course and the high elevations of Melson Ridge and Chestnut Flat Ridge. A significant geological landmark, the Rock House Natural Bridge, sits near the riverbank south of Creelsboro, illustrating the unique karst topography of the region.

Settlement patterns follow the ridges and creek valleys, with communities like Crocus, Olga, and Old Olga connected by a network of winding roads. For genealogists, the map preserves locations of family-interest sites including Ragen Cem and Dixon Cem. The presence of Gum Corners and Bryan reflects the distributed rural character of the area, while the river remains the dominant geographic feature, fed by numerous tributaries such as Crocus Cr and Mill Cr.
