About this map

The Green River carves through the southern corner of this landscape, marking a vital waterway punctuated by Mile 135 and Mile 139. Several small communities and rural centers like Baizetown, Dexterville, and Flener are linked by a network of winding roads, while the Western Kentucky Pkwy provides a modern corridor through the western hills. The social fabric of the era is visible in its numerous houses of worship and education, including Mt Zion Ch, Flener Chapel, and the Fifth District Sch.

Resource extraction is a prominent feature, with several Strip Mine and Strip Mines operations scattered across the northern and eastern reaches, particularly near Monford and Flint Springs. Along the river, the Green River Boys Camp and a Tollgate near the parkway crossing indicate specialized land use. The terrain is defined by deep drainage systems such as Indian Camp Creek, Sixes Creek, and Maulden Branch, which flow through hollows like Holston Hollow and Wolfpen Hollow.
