2019 Map of Glasgow South

About this map

Glasgow serves as the primary urban hub in this part of Barren County, where the Louie B Nunn-Cumberland Parkway and Old Bowling Green Rd facilitate regional movement. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of the city to a series of smaller rural communities and family-named landmarks. Several historic burial grounds, including Glasgow Cem, Barlow Cem, and Oak Grove Cem, are scattered throughout the countryside, providing essential points of reference for genealogical research. Southward, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Beaver Creek and Skaggs Creek, which carve through the land near settlements like Bristletown and Roseville. This network of waterways and early road systems, such as Burkesville Rd and Tompkinsville Rd, illustrates the longstanding connection between topography and local settlement patterns in southern Kentucky.
