2016 Map of Glencoe

About this map

Glencoe serves as a central hub in this corner of northern Kentucky, where the winding course of Eagle Creek carves through the undulating landscape of Gallatin and Owen Counties. The map reveals a dense network of country roads and ridges, such as Micah's Ridge and Eth Ridge, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local topography. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Poplar Grove Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Asa Kemper Cem. The proximity of small communities like Poplar Grove and Bromley along the corridor of Old US Hwy 127 highlights the enduring importance of traditional transit routes through the region's valleys and hollows, such as Gold Mine Hollow and No Head Hollow.
