About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee River dominate the northeastern reaches of this Marshall County landscape, where the shoreline meets a dense network of creeks and low-lying wetlands. The interior is characterized by the expansive Cypress Swamp and its drainage through Cypress Cr, creating a complex topographical environment between the rising ridges. The Purchase Pkwy carves a modern path through the western half of the map, linking established settlements like Draffenville, Briensburg, and Palma.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local burial grounds, ranging from the Marshall County Memory Garden near the highway junction to smaller family and community sites like Old Union Cem, Ruggle Cem, and Pinnacle Cem. The map captures the interface between recreation at Mike Miller Co Park and the rural agricultural and residential patterns of communities such as Tatumsville, all situated just south of the industrial corridor of Calvert City.
