About this map

Owenton serves as the focal point for this Owen County landscape, situated where the ridge-top roads of northern Kentucky intersect. The town’s administrative and communal life is anchored by the Owen County Judicial Center and the extensive Owenton Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. To the south, the waters of Elmer Davis Lake break the rhythmic pattern of narrow valleys and ridges that define the region.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground along routes like the New Liberty Sparta Pike, leading to outlying communities such as Long Ridge and Sweet Owen. The map reveals a deeply etched terrain where family histories are preserved in numerous small burial grounds, including the Duvall and Steger Cem and the Franks Cem. These sites, along with the Beech Grove Baptist Church, illustrate the long-standing rural social fabric that persists amidst the winding drainage of Slippery Rock Cr and Big Twin Cr.
