About this map

The Kentucky River winds sharply through a landscape of deep valleys and winding ridges where Carroll, Henry, and Owen Counties meet. At the northern bend, Worthville serves as a small rail and river hub, situated where Eagle Creek and Mill Creek join the main channel. The presence of the CSX railroad corridor along the riverbank highlights the area's historical role as a transport artery for northern Kentucky.

Further south, the map reveals a network of rural settlements and family landmarks such as Port Royal and Drennon Springs. The terrain is marked by numerous small runs and creeks, including Drennon Creek and Martins Run, which carve out the hollows where local landmarks like Drennon Chapel and Pleasant Union Ch were established. These features reflect the localized nature of mid-century community life in this river-oriented region.
