1914 Map of Little Muddy

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Morgantown stands at a prominent bend in the Green River, serving as a central hub for river commerce and overland travel in Butler County during the early 1910s. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Barren River and Gasper River, where numerous landings such as Finney Landing and Millshed Landing indicate a reliance on waterway transport for timber and local goods. Specialized industry is visible at the Caden Quarry near the southern riverbanks, while agricultural life is anchored by a dense network of country schools and churches, including the Rolling Spring School and Stevenson Chapel. Traceable family history is rooted in small settlements like Sugar Grove and Davenport, connected by historic thoroughfares like the Bowling Green Road and Russellville Road. The topography features notable landmarks such as Peach Orchard Knob and the dramatic river narrows.
