1970 Map of Knifley

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Green River Lake dominates the northern half of this landscape, its expansive waters filling the valley where the Green River meets Casey Creek and White Oak Creek. The 1970 revision captures a transitional moment for Adair County, documenting the significant impact of the reservoir on local geography. While the community of Knifley remains established on higher ground to the north, many historical structures and road networks are shown just above the water line or following the new shoreline. To the south, the topography rises into a series of prominent ridges, including Burton Ridge and Camel Ridge. This area is dotted with small rural landmarks that provide a clear picture of the mid-century social fabric, including several country churches like Little Cake Ch and Bloomington Chapel, alongside schools such as Shepherd Sch and Stillhouse Ridge School.
