About this map

The Green River carves a winding path through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the historic county seat of Morgantown. This modern survey reveals a dense network of ancestral sites and cemeteries that serve as a testament to generations of settlement in Butler County. From the Butler County Courthouse in the center of town, the terrain ripples outward into distinctive ridges and hollows like Hagan Shanty Ridge and Deer Lick Hollow.

Smaller outlying communities like Youngtown, Woodbury, and Leetown are mapped alongside significant local landmarks. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific burial sites preserved here, including the Sharer Burial Grounds, Riverview Cem, and the Old Gidcomb Cem. The intricate hydrology of the area, defined by Little Muddy Creek and Renfrow Cr, illustrates how the topography dictated the growth of these rural Kentucky settlements.
