About this map

Arlington and Columbus anchor this western Kentucky landscape where the upland bluffs of Carlisle and Hickman counties meet the alluvial plain of the Mississippi River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural burial grounds, such as the Columbus Confederate Cem and Blackburn Graveyard, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this river corridor.

Along the water, a series of oxbow lakes and sloughs like Crooked Lake, Goose Pond, and Black Lake trace the shifting historical path of the river. Small inland settlements such as Berkley and Laketon are connected by a web of county roads, while Railroad St in Arlington points to the enduring importance of transit through the river bottomlands. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of Truman Cr and Obion Cr as they feed into the expansive river system along the Missouri-Kentucky border.
