About this map

Creelsboro and the winding course of the Cumberland River anchor this mid-2010s survey of southern Kentucky. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between high ridges and fertile river flats, notably at Salt Lick Bottom and Long Bottom. A significant natural landmark, the Rock House Natural Bridge, stands near the riverbank at the southern edge of the quadrangle.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and narrow valleys, with distinct communities such as Old Olga, Bryan, and Crocus connected by a network of rural routes like Mudd Creek Rd and Hadley Cemetery Rd. Genealogists may find interest in the documented locations of Ragen Cem and Dixon Cem, while local historians can trace the boundary lines where Russell, Adair, Cumberland, and Clinton counties converge. The drainage system is particularly intricate, showing how Crocus Cr and Millers Cr carve through the terrain toward the main river channel.
