About this map

The Green River defines the western edge of this landscape where Ohio and Muhlenberg counties meet. This survey shows a region deeply influenced by industrial infrastructure, marked by numerous haul roads like Peabody Haul Rd and the Western Kentucky Pkwy cutting across the northern reaches. Small settlements and named corners are scattered throughout the hills, including Rockport, Echols, and the riverfront location of Paradise.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, such as Maddox Cem and Fulton Cem, tucked away from the main thoroughfares. The terrain is a network of small drainages like Lewis Cr and Pond Run that flow toward the Green River, with prominent landmarks such as Pilot Knob and Airdrie Hill providing vertical relief among the hollows and mining access routes.
