About this map

The Green River meanders through the heart of this landscape, carving a valley defined by prominent features like Cox Bend and several river landforms including Hobson Island, Snaps Island, and White Island. The city of Greensburg serves as the regional hub in the southwest, while smaller outlying communities such as Black Gnat, Bengal, and Sweeneyville anchor the surrounding rural crossroads.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named landmarks and burial sites scattered across the ridges and bottoms, from Marshall Ridge to the Cowherd Cem, Chaney Cem, and Blakeman Cem. The intricate network of small waterways, including Little Pitman Cr and Meadow Cr, illustrates a drainage pattern that has dictated local settlement and road placement for generations. The inclusion of Campbellsville Memorial Gardens and numerous smaller plots like Lewis Cem provides a significant record for those tracing local family histories in this part of Kentucky.
