About this map

The Ohio River forms a wide, sweeping bend between Kentucky and Indiana, anchoring this modern look at the borderlands of Daviess and Spencer counties. On the southern bank, the city of Owensboro dominates the landscape with its dense grid of streets, educational institutions like Brescia University, and civil landmarks such as the Holbrook Judicial Center. The city's northern edge is defined by significant memorial sites, including the extensive Rosehill - Elmwood Cem and Mausoleum North and Rosehill - Elmwood Cem and Mausoleum South.

Across the river and to the east, the character shifts toward smaller settlements and rural crossroads. The communities of Patronville, Africa, and Pueblo dot the Indiana side, while Thruston sits inland in Kentucky. Water features like Beeler Island and Yellow Bank Island are prominent in the river channel, while the surrounding topography is carved by many small drainages such as Caney Cr and Yellow Cr. This map captures a mature landscape where historical cemeteries like Settler Cem and Oak Grove Cem stand alongside modern developments and the enduring river traffic corridor.
