About this map

Monterey Baptist Church Cem and the nearby Monterey Cem sit at the western edge of this Owen County landscape, where the terrain transitions into a dense network of ridges and deep creek bottoms. The geography is defined by the winding paths of Sawdridge Creek and Elk Lick Cr, which carve through the uplands to create prominent features like Claxon Ridge and the broad Craddock Bottom.

Small settlements such as Hesler, New, and Teresita are connected by a web of narrow ridge roads and creek-side paths, including Goose Creek Rd and Indian Creek Rd. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several rural house of worship and burial sites, including the Greenup Fork Baptist Church Cem and Richland Baptist Church Cem, which serve as focal points for the scattered communities found along these Kentucky hollows.
