2010 Map of Bowling Green North

About this map

The Barren River winds through this landscape north of Bowling Green, defining the geography of Warren County through a series of pronounced meanders and island formations. These river bends created distinct landforms like Lock Bend and provided the foundation for numerous named river features, including Slim Island, Buckner Island, and McFarland Island. The settlement pattern follows the high ground above the river valley, with established communities such as Richardsville and Anna linked by a network of rural roads like Threlkel Ferry Rd and Pruitt Rd. Genealogists will find notable burial sites such as Taylor Cemetery near the Taylor Branch and Flora Cemetery in the northeast. From the industrial outskirts of Delafield to the heights of Billy Goat Hill, the map illustrates the ongoing relationship between the river's path and the development of north-central Kentucky.
