2013 Map of Knifley

About this map

Knifley serves as a central hub in this Adair County landscape, where the northern waters of Green River Lake meet a network of rural ridges and creek valleys. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Dunbar Hill and Robinson Ridge, which divide the drainages of Casey Cr and Spout Springs Br. Small settlements and historic communities are scattered throughout the area, including Purdy, Christine, and Ella, each connected by a winding web of named local routes like Redie Tucker Rd and Christine Sand Rd. Family history and local heritage are well-preserved through numerous small burial grounds, including Parker Chapel Cem, Damron Cem, and Allen Cem. The map illustrates a contemporary rural Kentucky environment where agricultural life follows the natural contours of the land, centered around the Green River and its many tributaries.
