About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this West Kentucky landscape, where the floodplain gives way to the dissected uplands of Carlisle and Hickman Counties. This area is home to several historic settlements including Arlington, Columbus, and Berkley, each serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural community. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites that are invaluable for genealogical research, ranging from the Columbus Confederate Cem in the southwest to Roselawn Cem near Bardwell in the north.

Hydrological features such as Straight Slough, Back Slough, and Brush Pond illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the river bottoms. Inland, the terrain is carved by numerous waterways like Truman Cr and Hurricane Cr. Transportation routes, including Railroad St in Arlington and the Arlington-US 51 Rd, connect these rural townships and reflect the enduring importance of the river-and-rail corridor in the Jackson Purchase region.
