About this map

Barren River Lake dominates the central landscape of this Barren County region, its winding shoreline creating numerous inlets and peninsulas throughout the topography. The settlement of Austin serves as a local hub on the eastern side, adjacent to Austin Cem, while the communities of Cedar Springs and Maynard anchor the western and southern reaches. The drainage pattern is highly defined by the intricate networks of Peter Creek, Canoe Cr, and Walnut Cr, which carve through the land before meeting the lake.

Transportation follows the ridgelines and valley floors, with Scottsville Rd and New Glasgow Rd providing primary access. For those researching family history in the area, the map provides clear documentation of local landmarks such as Pea Ridge and the many named branches like Manley Br and Dry Cr. The boundary line between Allen and Barren Counties is also clearly delineated as it traverses the lake and surrounding hills.
