2019 Map of Creelsboro

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a deep, winding path through this southern Kentucky landscape, defining the borders between Russell, Cumberland, and Clinton counties. Fertile river valleys such as Wells Bottom, Long Bottom, and Salt Lick Bottom contrast with the elevated terrain of Simpson Ridge and Chestnut Flat Ridge. The settlement of Creelsboro serves as a central point in this rural network, connected to outlying communities like Old Olga, Helm, and Manntown by a web of local roads. Near the river, the Rock House Natural Bridge stands as a prominent geological landmark. Genealogists may find interest in the documented locations of Ragen Cem and Dixon Cem, while researchers of local history can trace the many small branches and creeks, such as Crocus Cr and Mud Lick Cr, that fed the agricultural life of the area.
