About this map

Owenton serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, situated at the junction of several historic routes and surrounded by the deeply dissected landscape of Owen County. The town’s social and commemorative history is well-documented through sites like the Owenton Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Forsee Cem. Beyond the town center, the landscape transitions into agricultural ridges and winding creek valleys, including the prominent Harris Ridge and the waters of Stevens Creek.

Evidence of aviation and recreation in the region is found at the Schroder Airport and the nearby Owen Air Park, while the southern reaches of the map feature the significant reservoir of Elmer Davis Lake. Smaller settlements such as Long Ridge and Sweet Owen are connected by a network of local roads including Old Sweet Owen Rd, reflecting the persistent rural development patterns of the Kentucky Bluegrass region. Numerous family and church cemeteries, such as the Beech Grove Baptist Church Cem and Duvall and Steger Cem, provide essential data for local genealogical research.
