About this map

The Ohio River carves a wide bend between Daviess County, Kentucky, and Spencer County, Indiana, defining the geography of this 2019 survey. On the southern bank, the eastern reaches of Owensboro show a densely platted street grid including W Parrish Ave and E 4th St, transitioning into a landscape heavily marked by historical burial grounds. Large tracts such as Rose-Hill Cem, Greenwood Cem, and the Rosewood - Elmwood Cem provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local families.

Across the river in Indiana, the terrain shifts to a more rural arrangement of numbered county roads serving small communities like Patronville, Africa, and Pueblo. Significant river features like Beeler Island and Yellow Bank Island sit near the Owensboro Bridge, which serves as the primary artery connecting the two states. Further east in Kentucky, the settlement of Thruston is surrounded by rolling topography and the headwaters of Horse Fork and Burnett Fork.
