2022 Map of Panther

About this map

Owensboro expands southward into the agricultural landscape of Daviess County, where the transition from urban sprawl to rural settlement is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and historical cemeteries. The area is defined by a complex drainage system including Panther Creek, Old Panther Creek, and Vance Ditch, which navigate the low-lying terrain surrounding Island Field and Ditney Hill. Local genealogy is preserved in sites like Saint Raphael Cemetery and the Mount Zion Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery, while the aviation history of the region is anchored by the Owensboro/Daviess County Regional Airport and smaller fields such as Miles Airport. Further south, the map details the smaller communities of Moseleyville, Panther, and Handyville, set against elevated features like Nickel Ridge and Nation Hill that break the prevailing flatlands of the creek basins.
