About this map

The Green River dominates this central Kentucky landscape, carving deep, dramatic meanders like Caven Bend and Lobb Bend across the Hart Co and Green Co border. This 1961 survey captures a rural landscape defined by isolated homesteads and small communities such as Hudgins and Eve. The area's hydrology is particularly distinct, featuring the noted Three Hundred Springs and the confluence where the Little Barren River meets the Green River near Defries.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks, including dozens of small burial grounds like Reynolds Cem and Garvin Cem. The settlement pattern follows the high ground above the river bluffs, anchored by local institutions such as Knox Creek Ch and the Oak Grove Sch. Near the community of Powder Mill, the winding Lynn Camp Creek adds further complexity to the terrain, which rises to prominent heights at Puckett Knob and Maxey Knob.
