1950 Map of New Liberty

About this map

The Kentucky River carves through the southwestern corner of this 1950 Owen County landscape, defining the border with Henry County. The settlement of New Liberty serves as a focal point in the northeast, while Wheatley and Squiresville anchor the surrounding rural ridges. This era of Owen County history is characterized by a dense network of family and community landmarks, particularly an exceptional concentration of cemeteries such as the I O O F Cem, Masonic Cem, and Alexander Cem. The land is deeply dissected by the winding drainage of Big Twin Creek and Little Twin Creek, which feed into the river valley. Local community life is further evidenced by landmarks like the White Chapel Sch and several country churches, including Salem Ch and Mt Zion Ch, situated along the winding routes of the Citizens Pike and the many unnamed ridge roads.
