About this map

The Barren River Lake reservoir dominates the landscape of this southern Kentucky quadrangle, where the waters of the Barren River and Skaggs Creek converge at the county line. The topography is defined by the winding shoreline and prominent features like The Narrows, which separate different arms of the lake. Historically, this area is characterized by numerous small rural settlements and an exceptionally high density of family cemeteries. Localities such as Rocky Hill, Beckton, and Finney serve as hubs for a network of country roads including the Old Bowling Green Rd. The presence of several distinct church-affiliated burying grounds, including the Old Zion Methodist Church Cem and Rocky Hill Baptist Church Cem, alongside the Reinterment Cem Number 1, reflects the community's genealogical roots and the landscape changes necessitated by the creation of the reservoir.
