About this map

The Barren River carves a winding path through this portion of Warren County, defining the landscape with its dramatic oxbows and numerous river islands. At Lock Bend, the river creates a tight peninsula before flowing past a string of named landforms including Buckner Island, McFarland Island, and Sibert Island. The northern suburbs and industrial areas of Bowling Green are visible at the bottom of the map, including the settlement of Delafield and the waters of Limestone Lake.

Rural life dominates the northern highlands, where small communities like Richardsville, Anna, and Sand Hill are connected by a network of family-named roads. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved among the hills, such as the Isaac Stephens Family Cem and the T L Stephens Briggs Family Cem near the riverbanks. The terrain rises significantly north of the river, reaching local heights at Billy Goat Hill and dropping into deep drainages like Garrett Hollow.
