2019 Map of Gresham

About this map

The Green River and Russell Creek define the drainage and settlement patterns of this central Kentucky landscape. Small crossroads communities such as Gresham, Roachville, and Haskingsville serve as focal points for a network of rural routes, including Roachville Rd and Ebenezer Rd. The terrain is marked by distinctive river features like Penitentiary Bend and Cox Bend, where the water loops tightly through the Green County hills. Family and community history is anchored by numerous small burial grounds, including the Old Cem and New Cem near Gresham, and the Henderson Cem further south. The map illustrates a deeply rooted agricultural area where place names like Lemon Bend and Mount Gilead persist alongside traditional creek boundaries, showing a landscape of small farms and wooded ridges that has maintained its rural character into the twenty-first century.
