About this map

Eagle Creek carves a winding path through this corner of Owen County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and family crossings. In the western reaches, the community of Needmore sits near the junction of Vance O Banion Rd and Fortner Ridge Rd, while further east, the waterway is bridged at Starnes Bridge and crossed at historical points like Hensley Ford and Holiday Ford.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family burial grounds, including the Lingenfelter Cemetery, Nix Cemetery, and Mount Hebron Cemetery. The road network, often following the winding ridgelines and creek valleys, connects isolated hamlets like Keefer and Canby. From the heights of Chipman Ridge in the northeast to the confluence of Three Forks Creek, the map illustrates a traditional Kentucky upland character where the terrain dictates the placement of homes and farmsteads.
