About this map

The Green River carves a deep path through this Western Kentucky landscape, framing industrial and agricultural history. Near the riverbanks stands the Airdrie Iron Furnace, a prominent landmark adjacent to Airdrie Hill and the settlement of Paradise. This area, documented in 2010, shows a complex network of transportation and topography, from the high ground at Jackson Bluff to the winding course of Pond Run.

Smaller communities such as Echols, Rockport, and Nineteen are connected by a web of local roads like Nineteen School Rd and Pond Run Church Rd. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Maddox Cemetery and Independence Cemetery. The landscape is further defined by the Western Kentucky Parkway cutting through the northern portion, contrasting with the quiet stretches of Lewis Creek and Spur Creek.
