About this map

Green River meanders through this portion of Edmonson County, carving a landscape defined by dramatic bends and numerous islands including Boardcut Island, Stice Island, and Sand Cave Island. The river's influence is evident at Turnhole Bend and the historical crossing at Houchins Ferry, which provides access to the Maple Springs Group Campground area. The interior is characterized by a high density of named hollows and ridges, such as Wildcat Hollow, Sal Hollow, and Collie Ridge, illustrating the deeply dissected topography typical of the Kentucky karst region.

Settlement patterns follow the winding ridge roads, connecting small communities like Rhoda, Arthur, Pig, and Stockholm. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds, including Sand Spring Cemetery, Temple Hill Cemetery, and Good Spring Cemetery. Natural features like Cedar Sink and Double Sinks highlight the unique geological formations of the area, while names like Cotton Gin Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow offer hints of past agrarian and local industries.
