About this map

The Green River carves a winding path through this mid-century landscape where Butler, Edmonson, and Warren counties converge. The river economy of the 1950s is still evident here, marked by the presence of Lock No 5 and Honakers Ferry near Glenmore. Smaller rural communities like Reedyville, Vineyard, and Threlkel anchor the surrounding ridges, connected by a network of narrow roads and family-named landmarks.

Upland from the river, the terrain is defined by prominent features such as Region Ridge and Jolertown Ridge, while the valley floors are fed by Big Reedy Creek and Bear Creek. The map records several traditional centers of local life, including Bethlehem Ch, Cherry's Chapel, and Mt Lebanon Sch. Mineral extraction is visible in the hills, noted by an Asphalt Quarry and a Strip Mine, while Shanty Hollow Lake and Massey Springs highlight the area's natural hydrology.
