2010 Map of Phil

About this map

Green River and its various tributaries define the landscape of south-central Kentucky at the start of the 21st century. The terrain is a network of ridges and hollows, such as Hacker Ridge and Bruce Chapel Hollow, which have long dictated the placement of roads and homesteads. Small rural communities like Phil, Evona, and Teddy serve as local anchors, connected by winding routes like Jody Thomas Rd and S Fork Ridge Rd. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous small burial grounds including Allen Cemetery and Russell Cemetery, often located near crossroads or church sites like Pumpkin Chapel. The map documents a traditional rural economy where water crossings, like Rubert Ford, and creek systems like Trace Fork and Luttrell Creek remain primary geographic landmarks.
