About this map

Creelsboro stands as a focal point along the northern banks of the Cumberland River, where the landscape is defined by wide river bottoms and high, dissected ridges. The topographic detail highlights the unique geography of Wells Bottom and Long Bottom, shaped by the river's meandering course. A notable geological landmark, the Rock House Natural Bridge, is situated just west of the town, illustrating the karst-influenced terrain typical of this part of Kentucky.

The area is dotted with small, historically rooted settlements such as Crocus, Old Olga, and Helm, connected by a network of ridge-top roads and creek-side lanes like Mudd Creek Rd. Genealogists may find value in the placement of the Ragen Cem and Dixon Cem, while the various family-named ridges, including Simpson Ridge and Melson Ridge, provide insight into the early land divisions and community identities of the region.
