About this map

Eagle Cr defines the central geography of this Owen County landscape, winding past a series of small crossroads and river crossings. The map details a rural network of named settlements including Needmore, Holbrook, and Lawrenceville, connected by winding roads that often follow the ridge lines or creek beds. River fords, a traditional element of Kentucky topography, are still marked here at Hensley Ford and Holiday Ford, indicating historical transit points that long predated modern infrastructure.

Genealogists and local historians will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, such as the Lingenfelter Cem, Mt Hebron Cem, and Gaugh Cem. The terrain is characterized by distinctive bends and elevations like Horse Shoe Bend and Chipman Ridge. This survey documents the intersection of rural life and natural hydrology, from the Starnes Bridge crossing to the many named branches like Sand Lick Br and Dark Hollow Br that feed into the larger creek system.
