About this map

Barren River Lake dominates the central landscape of this Kentucky quadrangle, its irregular shoreline reaching into numerous drainages including Hurricane Cr and Broken Arrow Cr. The topography reveals a transition from the water-oriented recreation areas like the Barren River Lake State Resort Park Golf Course to the agricultural and residential uplands. Small settlements and crossroads such as Austin, Cedar Springs, and Maynard serve as local anchors, connected by a network of winding roads.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of the Austin Cem and the various boat access points, including the Austin Boat Ramp and Browns Ford Boat Ramp, which mark historical river crossings and modern access. The map illustrates how the damming of the river has shaped contemporary land use, creating a hybrid environment of protected parklands and rural farmsteads.
