About this map

Green River and its winding tributaries, including Russell Creek and Greasy Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern through this Green County landscape. Small rural communities like Exie, Thurlow, and Liletown serve as anchors for a network of winding country roads and family homesteads. The social fabric of the mid-20th century is clearly visible through the numerous country churches and one-room schoolhouses, such as Oak Grove Ch, Hooks Chapel, and Forest Rose Sch.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific family-named landmarks, particularly the many small burial grounds such as Wisdom Cem, Thompson Cem, and Whitlock Cem. Industrial footprints of the era are also present, noted by scattered Gas Wells and a Pipeline cutting across the southern terrain near Little Barren Ch. The inclusion of deep river bends like Price Hole and Brownlee Hole highlights the importance of the river system to the local geography and naming conventions of the time.
