2013 Map of Big Sandy

About this map

Big Sandy serves as the focal point of this Benton County landscape, situated where the Big Sandy River meets the expansive waters of Kentucky Lake. The town's layout is defined by a grid of numbered streets and family-named roads, while its connection to the water is highlighted by the Big Sandy Dock and the Big Sandy River Dewatering Area. This region is characterized by an intricate network of waterways, including Sugar Cr, Rushing Cr, and Sulphur Cr, which carve through the terrain. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is found in labels like Pencil Factory Rd and the Benton Cut terrain feature. The map also reveals specialized water management systems, such as the Ramble Cr Drainage Ditch and the Rushing Creek Drainage Ditch, which redirect flow across the rural landscape south of the main settlement.
