About this map

Big Reedy Cr and its numerous tributaries define the landscape of this region north of the Green River. The settlement pattern is largely linear, following the ridgelines and creek valleys along routes like Big Reedy Rd and Ready Jackson Rd. Small rural communities such as Ready, Nash, and Big Reedy are central to the map, while Windyville and Decker occupy the higher ground between the winding drainages.

Genealogists can find several family-named landmarks and resting places, including Preston Cem, Woosley Cem, and Bethel Cem. The map reveals the intricate network of local hollows, such as Woodbury Hollow and Rowe Hollow, which have historically dictated travel and farm placement. The prominence of features like Salt Well Br and Sawmill Rd suggests the local economic activities that once shaped these Kentucky communities.
