About this map

The Barren River meanders through the central Kentucky landscape where Warren, Allen, and Barren counties meet. This modern survey illustrates a region defined by its waterway and small settlements like Meador, Three Forks, and Martinsville. The terrain is marked by significant features such as Coles Bend and the Steep Hollow valley, while the river's legacy is traced along the Barren River Below the Dam Trl.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is a dense record of family history, naming numerous small burial grounds including the Goodnight Family Cem, Renick-White-Hill Cem, and Moulder Cem. Significant community landmarks like Martinsville Baptist Church and New Hope Baptist Church anchor these rural crossroads. The inclusion of Port Oliver Ford and Irvine Fall highlights historic crossing points and natural river features that have influenced local travel patterns for generations.
