1950 Map of Owenton

About this map

Owenton sits at the heart of this mid-century landscape, positioned where high ridges separate the deep drainages of Severn Creek and Stevens Creek. The map documents a predominantly agrarian economy defined by winding ridge-top roads and scattered family farmsteads. Significant for genealogists, the survey identifies numerous family burial grounds including Jones Cem, Franks Cem, and Woods Cem, often located on high ground near property lines.
