About this map

The Green River and Rough River wind through this landscape of western Kentucky, creating a complex network of wetlands and river bends. Small rural settlements like Smallhous, Equality, and Matanzas are connected by a web of local roads that follow the high ground and creek drainages. The influence of the river economy is evident in place names such as Knotts Ferry Loop and Carter Ferry Rd, reflecting historical crossing points that preceded modern bridges.

Local family names and landmarks are preserved in the road network, including Raymond Hall Rd and Homer Austin Rd. The terrain is defined by numerous small water bodies and drainage basins, such as Elk Cr and Williams Cr, which feed into the primary river systems. In the southwestern portion, Cave Hill rises near the river, while the community of Point Pleasant sits near the confluence of local tributaries, illustrating a settlement pattern deeply tied to the regional hydrology.
