About this map

The confluence of Butler, Edmonson, and Grayson counties meets among the intricate drainage networks of Big Reedy Cr and its various forks. The landscape is defined by its deep connectivity to water, where local roads such as W Fork Reedy Creek Rd and Big Reedy Rd follow the winding paths of W Fork Big Reedy Cr and Little Reedy Cr. Small settlements like Ready, Nash, and Windyville are distributed across the higher elevations and ridges, including Huff Ridge Rd.

Family history is preserved in several rural burial grounds scattered across the terrain, notably Woosley Cem near Decker, and Preston Cem situated just south of the northern border. The map illustrates a rural Kentucky economy still tied to its geographic contours, with clear transitions between the valleys of Sunfish Cr and the heights of Rowe Hollow. This modern survey provides a detailed look at the persistent settlement patterns in this three-county corner of the Commonwealth.
