2013 Map of Reed

About this map

The Green River snakes in tight oxbows across this riverine landscape, where the confluence with the Ohio River shapes the local topography. This region is defined by an intricate drainage network of sloughs and ditches, including Richland Slough, Hurricane Slough, and Katie Meadow Slough, which speak to the low-lying, moisture-rich character of the bottomlands. Small settlements such as Reed, Newman, and Birk City are positioned along the primary transit corridors that cut through the wetlands. The road network, including the Old Hebbardsville-Coraville road and Hebbardsville Mason Landing Rd, reflects long-standing connections between riverside landings and inland farming communities. The abundance of named water features like Ipsom Ditch and Martin Cr suggests a landscape heavily modified for agriculture and water management, typical of the fertile Henderson County plains.
