2022 Map of Flener

About this map

The Green River carves a deep arc through the southwestern corner of this landscape, creating the prominent Big Bend south of Aberdeen. This area along the Ohio Co and Butler Co line is characterized by a dense network of small family and church cemeteries, which serve as vital markers of the region's genealogical history. Clusters of activity are found at Gilstrap and Flener, where the terrain is defined by winding drainage systems like Indian Camp Creek and its various prongs. The upland areas, such as Pea Ridge, are dissected by numerous hollows, including Wolfpen Hollow and Possum Hollow, reflecting a traditional Kentucky settlement pattern where homes and roads follow the narrow valley floors and ridgelines. Local institutions like McKendree Chapel and the Aberdeen Baptist Church anchor these rural communities.
