2013 Map of Paradise

About this map

The Green River winds through this landscape, marking a terrain defined by coal mining history and early industrial sites. The ruins of the Airdrie Iron Furnace stand near Airdrie Hill, serving as a silent reminder of 19th-century iron production efforts in the region. To the south, the namesake settlement of Paradise sits along the riverbank, a location famously associated with the environmental and social shifts of the mid-20th century power and mining industries. Small communities like Simmons, Rockport, and Echols are connected by a network of local routes such as Echols Church Rd and Nineteen School Rd, while the Western Kentucky Pkwy E cuts across the northern half. Topographical landmarks like Pilot Knob and Jackson Bluff provide vertical relief above the numerous water bodies, including Pond Cr and Pond Run.
