2010 Map of Monterey

About this map

Monterey serves as the primary hub in this corner of Owen County, where the hills are carved by an intricate network of waterways including Severn Creek, Cedar Creek, and Sawdridge Creek. The landscape is defined by its rural density, marked by numerous small cemeteries and church grounds that point to generations of family settlement. Notable among these are the Pauper Cemetery in the north and the Sanders Cemetery near the main town. Movement through the area follows the terrain, with routes like Us HWY 127 and Old Frankfort Pike connecting the smaller settlements of Hesler, New, and Teresita. The topographic detail reveals a series of prominent elevations such as Claxon Ridge and Paytons Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of the local road system and separate the various creek valleys that drain toward the Kentucky River basin.
