About this map

Mammoth Cave National Park dominates the northern and eastern portions of this Edmonson County landscape, where the deeply incised Green River carves a serpentine path through the karst topography. The river's influence on local history is evidenced by Houchins Ferry and numerous named islands like Stice Island and Boardcut Island. This area is defined by its complex drainage and subterranean systems, shown through features such as Turnhole Spring, Cedar Sink, and the massive network of hollows including Stillhouse Hollow and Pigeon Hollow.

Small rural settlements such as Arthur, Rhoda, and Pig are connected by a network of winding roads like Houchins Ferry Rd and Rhoda School Rd. For those researching local families, the map identifies several rural burial grounds including Silent Grove Baptist Church Cemetery and Temple Hill Cem. The topography is a mix of high ridges like Jappa Ridge and Joppa Ridge and deep valleys such as Smith Valley, illustrating the rugged limestone environment of central Kentucky.
