About this map

Yosemite and Middleburg anchor the northern reaches of this Casey County landscape, where the Green River carves a path through a series of steep ridges and hollows. The settlement pattern follows the intricate drainage network, with homes and small farms situated along the narrow valley floors of Hatter Cr and Knob Lick Cr. This area is characterized by high, narrow divides such as High Ridge and Hurricane Ridge, which separate the myriad small creeks feeding the local watersheds.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites and religious landmarks, including the Green River Church Cem and Willow Springs Church Cem. The map reveals the deeply rural character of central Kentucky, with isolated peaks like Lawhorn Hill and Rich Hill Knob overlooking scattered communities like Mount Olive. These landmarks, along with family-named features like Salyer Knob and McClure Knob, reflect the enduring lineage of the families who settled this dissected plateau.
