2010 Map of Panther

About this map

Panther Creek and its tributary Old Panther Creek dominate this central Kentucky landscape south of Owensboro. The area is defined by a dense network of rural roads and family-named terrain features, such as Zion Hill, Nation Hill, and Nickel Ridge. Aviation is a notable component of the local geography, with the Owensboro-Daviess County Airport occupying the northern edge, complemented by smaller landing strips like Miles Airport and Goode Airpark. The small communities of Panther, Handyville, and Rome serve as local hubs for the surrounding agricultural land. The presence of Windy Hollow Lakes and Miller Lake indicates pockets of recreation and managed water resources amidst the meandering creeks and drainage ditches like Keller Ditch.
