About this map

Spottsville and Baskett anchor this riverine landscape where the Green River winds through Henderson County. The presence of Lock and Dam No 1 and the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor underscores the region's reliance on both water and rail transport. While the Audubon Parkway cuts a modern path across the terrain, the local economy remains deeply tied to the land, evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells scattered through the hills near Zion and Bluff City.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the foundations of these communities through landmarks like the Hebbeardsville Sch and the Race Creek Ch. Family history seekers may also find interest in the Christodelphian Cem and Ridgewood Cem. The intricate network of rural roads, such as Hatchett Mill Road and Pikes Landing Rd, reveals the historic connectivity between small river settlements and inland farming tracts.
