About this map

Hustonville serves as the focal point for this section of Lincoln County, where the headwaters of the Green River emerge in the south and drainage from Hanging Fork Cr flows north. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent knobs and ridges, including Gordon Lick Knob and McKinney Bluff, which dictate the winding paths of rural connectors like Old US 127.

Smaller settlements such as Chicken Bristle, McKinney, and Mount Salem are scattered throughout the region, often positioned near the base of high points like Meetinghouse Knob. This topographical arrangement reflects a traditional Kentucky settlement pattern where homes and communities clustered in the lower valleys and gaps between the rugged knobs. For researchers, the map provides a clear look at the intersection of local roads and natural landmarks such as Riffle Ridge and Yates Ridge.
