About this map

Mining City and Silver City anchor the industrial and social landscape of this Butler County region, where the winding Green River forms a significant northern boundary. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the meandering Panther Creek, Hickory Camp Creek, and Muddy Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns and road networks over generations. The prevalence of family-named cemeteries such as Rone Cemetery, Browns Cemetery, and Webster Cemetery reflects the deep genealogical roots of the area.

Rural communities like Provo and South Hill are connected by numerous local thoroughfares like Dunbar Coal Rd and Silver City-Huntsville Rd, hinting at the historic importance of mining and transit to the local economy. From the secluded waters of Doolin Lake to the southern reach of Grassy Lick Creek, the map provides a clear view of the land before further modern development, preserving the locations of rural landmarks such as Bethel Cemetery and Big Muddy Cemetery.
