2022 Map of Buchanan
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
The Kentucky Tennessee state line divides this borderland between Henry County and Calloway County, where the low-lying drainage basins of the Blood River and Eagle Creek define the landscape. Settlement patterns follow the high ground between these drainage networks, notably at Freeland and Oak Grove. This territory is exceptionally dense with family-named burial grounds, providing a significant map for genealogical research. Sites like the Old Soldiers Cem and the Heglar Chapel Cem sit among dozens of others including the Valentine Cem and Moody Rowlett Cem. The modification of the natural hydrology is evident in the channelization of the N Fork Blood River Drainage Ditch and its various tributaries, a common practice in this era to manage the bottomlands for agricultural use.
