2016 Map of Lawrenceville

About this map

Eagle Creek carves a deep, winding path through the borderlands of Grant and Owen Counties, defining the rural character of this northern Kentucky landscape. The creek's influence is evident in the naming of river crossings like Hensley Ford and Holiday Ford, as well as the positioning of the Starnes Bridge. These points of transit connect a network of small, scattered settlements including Lawrenceville, Holbrook, and Needmore. The terrain is characterized by high ridges such as Simpson Ridge and Chipman Ridge, which dictate the winding routes of roads like Fortner Ridge Rd. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several smaller burial sites including Mount Hebron Cem, Lingenfelter Cem, and the Gross Cem. The presence of the Mount Pisgah Church and various community nodes like Canby and Keefer reflect a long-standing pattern of dispersed upland agricultural settlement.
