2016 Map of Riverside

About this map

The Green River and Barren River dominate this landscape along the Butler and Warren County line, creating a complex network of ridges and hollows in south-central Kentucky. Small communities like Riverside and Horsemill are connected by a web of narrow roads that follow the high ground, such as Lettered Rock Ridge and Pisgah Ridge. Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds including Peyton Cem, Nudger Cem, and Threlkel Cem. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive high points like Roans Knob and Little Barn Knob, which overlook the winding river bends at Sproul Bend. Local hydrology is characterized by numerous small tributaries including Little Muddy Creek and Claylick Cr, while several impoundments such as Upton Lake and Little Martin Lake provide water resources for the rural farmsteads and settlements scattered across the quadrangle.
