About this map

The city of Greenville serves as the focal point of this 1971 survey, showing the county seat’s expansion along the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Educational institutions like Lomax-Hannon Jr College and South Side High Sch provide significant landmarks for local historians, while the Pioneer Cem and Sunrise Cem offer specific locations for genealogical research.

Beyond the urban center, the landscape is defined by the extractive industry of numerous Strip Mine operations scattered between Halls Creek and Pigeon Creek. Small rural communities and gathering places like Mashville, Spring Hill, and Mt Olive Ch populate the eastern hills. The presence of several private water bodies, including Luckie Pond and Boucher Lake, alongside the Municipal Airport, reflects the mid-century development of Butler County's infrastructure and land use.
