All due respect to prior contributors, but a bit of clarification.

The Green near Bowling Green has it's headwaters just west of Hwy.27 up near Halls Gap. Coming south from there, if you follow Hwy.501 to Duncan, then 837 thru Walltown, Mt.Olive, Argyle, Mintonville, and to Hwy.80, that route runs the ridge which separates the watersheds (west of that route lie tribs of the Green, while east of that route lie various creeks tributary to the Cumberland River). So, while there may be some Pitman Creek which is tributary to the Green, this one is not. It is tributary to the Cumberland River.

The other reply is accurate, but could be mistaken to imply extending the reach of this stream a bit too far north. As stated, it does, indeed, start SOUTH and WEST of Orans Truck Stop. FWIW, just to be clear, ditches and creeks 'in Eubank' (and Floyd and Estesburg) run to Briary Creek, to Buck Creek (the next watershed to the east of Pitman Creek).
