About this map

The Red River cuts a winding path through the dissected plateau of Wolfe and Morgan counties, anchoring the settlement of Hazel Green. This 1965 revision details a landscape defined by its narrow valley bottoms and steep ridges, where rural life centered on institutions like the Hazel Green Academy and the Red River Valley Sch. Smaller hamlets such as Maytown, Daysboro, and Stillwater are connected by a network of winding roads and mountain forks.

Industry and local history are etched into the terrain through numerous Oil Wells and a significant Pipeline corridor. Genealogists will find interest in the numerous unnamed family cemeteries and established landmarks like Flat Rock Ch and its accompanying Flat Rock Cem. Along the river, a Gaging Station monitors the waters that have historically shaped this Appalachian community, while the Consolation Mission Ch stands as a distant outpost in the rugged eastern hills near Nickell Fork.
