About this map

The Green River and Rough River define the hydraulic character of this western Kentucky landscape, where small rural settlements are scattered across the fertile bottomlands and low ridges. Local genealogy is particularly well-represented here, with numerous family burial grounds including the Patterson Cemetery, Bell Cemetery, and Tichnor Cemetery situated near the crossroads of Matanzas. The map reveals a highly localized road network such as Knots Ferry Loop and Carter Ferry RD, indicating a history of river-dependent transit and connectivity before modern bridges predominated.

Industrial activity is evidenced by Haul RD in the eastern sector, while the community of Equality serves as a central point for the surrounding farms. Other notable hamlets like Point Pleasant and Smallhous anchor the river bends, preserving the spatial layout of 21st-century rural McLean and Ohio Counties. From the banks of Elk Creek to the settlement of Centertown, this survey provides a comprehensive look at the land use and residential patterns of the era.
