About this map

The Barren River winds through the heart of this Warren County landscape, creating a series of significant islands and bends that define the local geography. North of the city of Bowling Green, the river is home to a cluster of named landforms including Slim Island, Buckner Island, Boat Island, and Wilkerson Island. These features, along with Lock Bend, indicate a historical reliance on the waterway for navigation and property boundaries. The survey captures the rural-urban transition at the northern edge of the city, where the neighborhood of Delafield meets the winding course of Jennings Creek.

Further north, the terrain shifts into the hills of the Pennyroyal Plateau, marked by Billy Goat Hill and Garrett Hollow. This area is dotted with small, long-standing communities such as Richardsville, Anna, and Sand Hill. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource for locating family burial sites, including the Taylor Cem, Flora Cem, and specific private plots like the Isaac Stephens Family Cem and the T L Stephens Briggs Family Cem, many of which are tucked away on family lands near the river's edge.
