About this map

New Liberty serves as a focal point for this section of Owen County, where the congregation of the New Liberty Baptist Church and the New Liberty Second Baptist Church have long established the community's spiritual core. The landscape is defined by the deep dissection of the plateau by Big Twin Creek and Mill Cr, creating a network of ridges and bottoms such as Marshall Bottom along the Kentucky River.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family and fraternal burial grounds across the rural landscape, from the Dallasburg Masonic Cem near Wheatley to the Benjamin Hancock Cem and Lusby/Kemper Cem in the southeastern reaches. Smaller crossroads like Squiresville and Pleasant Home anchor the winding network of pikes, including Quissenberry Pike and Citizens Pike, which follow the high ground between the steep-walled creek valleys.
