About this map

The Green River carves a winding path through the heart of this landscape, its tight oxbows and surrounding wetlands defining the region's character just south of the Ohio River. This area on the border of Henderson and Daviess Counties is marked by a complex network of drainage features like Richland Slough and Hurricane Slough, which speak to the low-lying, riparian nature of the terrain. The small community of Reed sits near the northern edge, while the southern reaches are anchored by Hebbardsville and the hills flanking the Audubon Pkwy.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of community landmarks, including Saint Peters Cem near the eastern border and Sorgho Cem in the southeast. The map also captures the distinct island geography of French Island Number 2 in the Ohio River. The settlement patterns follow the high ground and river bends, with Birk City and Newman serving as local nodes connected by a web of rural routes like Reed Bluff City Rd and Mason Landing Rd.
