About this map

The Little Fork Barren River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Metcalfe and Green Counties, defining the geography of a rural landscape dotted with small crossroads communities. At the time of this 1973 revision, the region maintained its character as a collection of family-centered settlements, anchored by rural institutions like North Metcalfe Sch and a series of country houses of worship including Pleasant Valley Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Antioch Ch.

Infrastructure in the northern reaches near Savoyard is marked by a significant Underground Gas Storage Field, while the community of Sulphur Well sits along the river's edge, adjacent to a designated Roadside Park. Farther south, the map reveals the layout of Wisdom and New Liberty, illustrating the transition from the river valley to the higher terrain near Buck Hill. This survey captures the rural continuity of south-central Kentucky, where narrow creeks like Blue Spring Creek and Sulphur Creek feed the larger Barren River system.
