About this map

Owenton serves as the central hub of this northern Kentucky landscape, where the town's street grid meets the winding ridge roads of Owen County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, including Long Ridge and the tucked-away No Head Hollow, which direct the flow of numerous small waterways like Stevens Cr and Buck Elk Cr.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of many small family and organizational burial grounds scattered across the countryside. These range from the prominent Owenton Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem to smaller sites like Duvall and Steger Cem, Ransdel Cem, and the Pauper Cem near Hallam. In the south, the waters of Elmer Davis Lake provide a notable geographical contrast to the surrounding creek valleys, while Owen Air Park and Schroder Airport highlight the region's light aviation infrastructure.
