About this map

Green River Lake dominates this northern Adair County landscape, where the waters of the Green River and Casey Creek meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high ground, including Hovious Ridge, Robinson Ridge, and Camel Ridge, which separate the various creek branches that feed the central reservoir. Small rural settlements like Knifley, Purdy, and Christine are linked by a complex web of backroads such as Union Church Rd and Little Cake Rd.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites across the ridges, including Parker Chapel Cem, Dunbar Cem, and Damron Cem. The topography reveals the historical importance of timber and water access, with place names like Stillhouse Hollow hinting at the area's older localized industries and secluded land uses. The settlement of Neatsville sits at the eastern edge, positioned where Blue Br and Drue Br descend toward the river valley.
