Russell, KY

united states

Russell is a small Ohio River city in northeastern Kentucky that serves as Greenup County's seat. US Route 23 provides the main north-south connection, linking to Ashland 15 miles south and continuing into Ohio. State Route 207 heads east toward West Virginia. The city sits where three states meet, with rolling Appalachian foothills and a humid subtropical climate. The Greenup Lock and Dam along the riverfront serves as both a navigation structure and defining local landmark.
