About this map

The Green River carves a winding path through this corner of Green County, creating distinct geographic features like Penitentiary Bend and Lemon Bend in the northern reaches. This landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Russell Creek and its many tributaries, including South Fork Russell Creek and Sulphur Fork. The settlement pattern is largely dispersed, with small communities such as Gresham, Roachville, and Haskingsville serving as focal points for a network of rural roads named for local families.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial sites scattered across the countryside, such as Hancock Cemetery, Henderson Cemetery, and Wilson Cemetery. The map also captures several smaller named settlements like Bramlett, Fry, and Kemp, which together with the numerous creek-side landmarks like Skinhouse Branch and Clover Lick Creek, provide a detailed look at the rural heritage and local nomenclature of this Kentucky region.
