2010 Map of Arlington

About this map

The Mississippi River floodplain and its upland bluffs define the landscape of western Kentucky in this recent topographic survey. The river's influence is evident in the cluster of oxbow lakes and ponds near Belmont Landing, including Black Lake, Number 4 Lake, and Indian Camp Lake. Moving inland, the terrain transitions to a network of creeks and small settlements connected by a grid of rural roads. The towns of Arlington and Bardwell anchor the eastern side of the map, while smaller locales like Berkley and Laketon are situated further west. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks, particularly cemeteries such as Taylor Cemetery, Allred Cemetery, and Campbell Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the agricultural landscape along tributaries like Bowles Creek and Hurricane Creek.
