2010 Map of Buchanan

About this map

Mount Pleasant and the area surrounding Buchanan Post Office are characterized by a dense network of family cemeteries and rural homesteads at the edge of Kentucky Lake. This landscape, defined by the winding paths of the Blood River and Eagle Creek, reveals a deeply rooted community history through its many burial grounds, including the McGhee Old Slave Cemetery. The road network often follows the terrain of Crass Hollow and Owens Hill, connecting significant local landmarks like Heglar Chapel Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery. The convergence of the North Fork Blood River and South Fork Blood River illustrates the hydrologic patterns that have shaped the settlement and agriculture of this Tennessee-Kentucky border region for generations.
