2016 Map of Rochester

About this map

The Green River and Mud River converge in this corner of Kentucky, defining a landscape of deep meanders and alluvial bottomlands along the borders of Butler, Muhlenberg, and Ohio Counties. At the heart of the river traffic stands the Rochester Lock near the town of Rochester, where the waterway’s industrial legacy is still visible. The terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks into prominent high points like Reed Hill and Chestnut Oak Ridge, while numerous creeks and branches, such as Andrews Run and Daniels Br, carve through the surrounding timberland. This 2016 survey documents the enduring layout of rural settlements like Ennis, Skilesville, and Huntsville. For those tracing family histories or land use, the map details many local access points and landmarks including Taylor Cem, Midway Cem, and old crossings like Ward Bridge and Clark Bridge.
