2010 Map of Yosemite

About this map

Mount Olive stands as a central settlement in this portion of Casey County, where the southern Kentucky landscape is defined by a dense network of knobs, ridges, and creek hollows. The Green River meanders across the northern reaches, fed by numerous tributaries including Carpenter Creek and Hungry Creek. This topography created a fragmented settlement pattern, with homesteads and small family farms situated along the narrow valley floors and ridgeline roads. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites, such as the Old Willow Springs Cemetery and Hatter Cemetery, which are often located near historical family landholdings. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Rich Hill Knob and Elliott Knob, while landmarks like Sugar Camp Hollow and Burdick Hollow reflect the traditional naming conventions of the region's early residents. Transportation in this era relied on a web of winding routes like Calvary Ridge Rd and Howe Hollow Rd, which followed the natural contours of the land.
