About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee River dominate the eastern edge of this Marshall County landscape, where the waters meet a series of wooded ridges and creek bottoms. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Birmingham Cem and Briensburg Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for local genealogy. Major transit corridors like I-24 and I-69 intersect near Draffenville, reflecting the modern infrastructure that connects these historic rural communities.

Away from the highways, the terrain softens into the Cypress Swamp and the meandering path of Cypress Creek. Small settlements such as Tatumsville and Briensburg anchor the interior, while landmarks like the Marshall Co Landfill and Lakeview Baptist Church provide modern points of reference. This topographic study captures the traditional Kentucky landscape of creek-fed valleys and upland cemeteries as they exist alongside twentieth-century lake developments.
