2016 Map of Sutherland

About this map

Owensboro's southeastern residential and collegiate expansion defines the northern edge of this landscape, anchored by the Kentucky Wesleyan Coll campus and Rose Hill Cem. Moving south from the city, the terrain transitions into a intricate drainage network dominated by the Panther Cr and its many branches, including the S Fork Panther Cr and N Fork Panther Cr. These waterways historically dictated the location of rural clusters and agricultural crossings. Scattered communities like Masonville, Sutherland, and Browns Valley are connected by a web of named local routes like Old Hartford Rd and Sutherland Rd. The map documents a blend of mid-century suburban growth alongside enduring family-named cemeteries such as Hix Cem and Holy Cross Cem, providing a clear view of how Daviess County's landscape has evolved from its agricultural roots.
