2016 Map of Monterey

About this map

Monterey Cem and the surrounding heights of Honeysuckle Hill overlook the creek valleys of Owen County in this modern survey. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Severn Cr and Sawdridge Creek, where small settlements like Hesler and Teresita are connected by a network of rural roads. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites and country congregations, including the Monterey Baptist Church Cem, Richland Baptist Church Cem, and the El Bethel Christian Church Cem. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Claxon Ridge and Paytons Ridge, falling away toward Craddock Bottom. In the northern reach, Elmer Davis Lake provides a major water feature among the many tributaries like Slippery Rock Cr and Greenup Cr that carve through the Kentucky hills.
