About this map

Green River and the winding Russell Creek define this rural Green County landscape as it appeared in the mid-1950s. The region is characterized by a dense network of small agrarian communities connected by winding roads and numerous family-named landmarks. Settlements such as Exie, Liletown, Thurlow, and Pierce serve as local anchors, each surrounded by family burial grounds like the Akin Cem and Wisdom Cem.

Education and faith were central to local life, evidenced by the distribution of country schools and churches including Lone Oak Sch, Chinquapin Sch, and Mt Lebanon Ch. The map also reveals the presence of early energy exploration with a Gas Well located near Trammel Creek. Toward the southern edge, the terrain shifts near the Little Barren River, where Little Barren and its namesake Little Barren Ch sit amidst the rolling hills of south-central Kentucky.
