2019 Map of Summersville

About this map

The Narrows of Pitman marks a dramatic loop in Big Pitman Creek north of Greensburg, where the water snakes through a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous family burial grounds. This modern survey reveals a region in Green County where the winding courses of the Green River and its tributaries dictate the location of historic crossings and settlements like Summersville and Gabe. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting the locations of many small family plots such as Vance Cem, DeWitt Cem, and Akin Cem. Topographic landmarks like The Sinks of Little Brush, Buzzards Bluff, and The Drip highlight the unique karst-influenced terrain. To the south, Kings Hole and Oil Well Hole along the river reflect the localized geology and early resource extraction patterns of this central Kentucky district.
