About this map

Barren River Lake and the winding Barren River dominate this landscape on the border of Allen and Barren Counties. The terrain is defined by the intricate dendritic drainage patterns of tributaries like Walnut Cr, Canoe Cr, and Peter Creek as they feed into the central reservoir. Settlements such as Cedar Springs, Maynard, and Austin are connected by a network of rural routes, including Pea Ridge Rd and Brownsford Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family burial grounds and church yards, including the Foster Graveyard, Thomas Harston Cem, and George Harrison Graveyard. The map also documents numerous community landmarks like Mount Olivet Baptist Church and Corinth General Baptist Church, reflecting the area's long-standing social and religious fabric established well before the modern reservoir altered the valley floor.
