2019 Map of Owensboro West

About this map

Owensboro and its western outskirts are defined by the wide sweep of the Ohio River, which forms the northern boundary against Indiana. The landscape transition from the river bottomlands to the interior is marked by the Bon Harbor Hills and the meandering path of Katie Meadow Slough. Settlement patterns are clear along old transit corridors like Griffith Station Rd, connecting established communities such as Stanley and Griffith. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial sites, including Fern Hill Cem and Lancaster Cem near the settlement of Fern Hill, as well as the Arnold Cem and Alexander Cem further north. The river environment is dotted with named features like Little Hurricane Island, Bunches Bend, and French Island Number 1, reflecting the area’s long-standing reliance on the Ohio for transport and commerce.
