About this map

Argyle and Ware anchor a landscape defined by a network of ridges and watercourses in Casey County, Kentucky. The terrain is notably punctuated by numerous named high points such as Watson Knob, Tarter Knob, and Green River Knob, which rise above the surrounding valleys. The hydrological pattern is dominated by the South Fork Green River and its many tributaries, including Henson Creek, Turkey Creek, and Wolf Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds including Spaw Cemetery near Spaw Knob and Caintown Cemetery in the southern portion of the sheet. The settlement pattern is characterized by small communities like Mangum and Pointer, connected by a web of local roads that follow the contours of landforms such as Chestnut Level Ridge, Chapel Ridge, and Wilson Ridge. This detailed survey documents the rural character and family-named landmarks of the region as they stood in the early 21st century.
