About this map

The Green River carves a central path through this section of south-central Kentucky, where the convergence of Adair, Casey, and Russell counties creates a complex landscape of ridges and hollows. Small agricultural settlements and crossroads communities like Pellyton, Neatsville, and Eunice are connected by a network of ridge-top roads such as Sanders Ridge Rd and Nubbin Ridge Rd. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where the terrain dictates the layout of the land.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous small burial grounds scattered across the heights, including Rice Cem near Dunnville and Pittman Cem in Thomastown. Notable geographic features such as Blair Ridge, Absher Ridge, and Gundy Hollow provide specific context for historical land tracts and family homesteads. The map also records the importance of the river and its many tributaries, like Spruce Pine Cr and Riffe Cr, in shaping the local economy and movement.
