About this map

Drakesboro serves as the central hub for this portion of Muhlenberg County, where a network of local roads like John Prine Ave and Ike Everly Ave intersect. The landscape is defined by the legacy of the coal industry, evidenced by numerous haul roads such as the P and M Haul Rd and specialized routes like Miners Hall Rd and Beech Creek Browder Rd. These industrial arteries weave between long-established settlements including Browder, Beechmont, and Beech Creek.

Waterways like Pond Cr and Hazel Cr drain the undulating terrain, while smaller communities such as Ebenezer and Belton anchor the rural crossroads. For those researching local history, the placement of the Ennis Cem and Wilcox Cem alongside named landmarks like Stony Point and Boggess Hollow provides a detailed look at the geographical distribution of families and local industry in the early 21st century.
