2019 Map of Lucas

About this map

Barren River Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Barren County region, where the intricate shoreline of the reservoir reaches into numerous valleys and hollows. The prominent landform known as The Narrows creates a narrow land bridge between large fingers of the lake, connecting the community of Finney to the western shore. The geography is defined by the transition from upland ridges like Burton Ridge to the inundated creek beds of Skaggs Creek and Cooks Creek. Small settlements and agricultural hubs such as Lucas, Rocky Hill, and Red Cross are scattered across the northern half of the map, linked by a dense network of country roads like Old Bowling Green Road. Genealogists may find interest in the documented locations of the Henderson Cemetery and Allen Cemetery, which remain as markers of the area's rural heritage amidst the modern recreational landscape of the lake.
