1970 Map of Knifley

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Green River Lake dominates this 1970 landscape, its waters backing into the deep valleys of White Oak Creek and Casey Creek. The map records the area just as controlled inundation transformed the local geography, showing the Green River winding below the high elevations of Burton Ridge. This transitional period captures established upland communities like Purdy and Christine alongside the emerging recreational landscape. Small rural centers such as Knifley and Neatsville serve as focal points for a network of ridges and hollows defined by family-named landmarks and country churches. Genealogists can trace local roots through numerous sites like Parker Chapel, Damron Cem, and the Robinson Chapel located near the headwaters of the newly formed lake. The presence of the Lookout Tower and specialized routes like Allen Cemetery Rd reflect the enduring patterns of forest management and cemetery access in Adair County.
