2022 Map of Greensburg

About this map

Greensburg and the surrounding Green County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Green River, which creates distinctive landforms like Cox Bend and a series of river islands including Russell Island, Marcum Island, and Snaps Island. The landscape is heavily marked by family history and genealogy, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as the Larimore Family Cem, Gaines Family Cem, and the notable Colby Cowherd Slave Cem. This area of Kentucky is characterized by small, scattered settlements like Black Gnat, Bengal, and Whitewood, connected by a network of rural roads that follow the ridges and creek valleys. The drainage system of Big Pitman Creek and its many branches like Little Meadow Cr carves through the terrain, creating a complex topography that has influenced local settlement patterns for generations.
