About this map

The Cumberland River carves a sweeping path through this portion of Livingston County, defining the local geography through prominent features like Horseshoe Bend and Vicks Bluffs. The river served as a vital artery for the region, as evidenced by a string of historic river access points including Lemen Landing, Moxley Landing, and Mitchell Landing. Inland, the settlement of Burna sits at a crossroads in the north, while the landscape is punctuated by numerous family-named high points such as Kibbler Hill and Harris Hill.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family burial grounds distributed across the terrain, from the Lee-Goldwell Cem near Vicksburg to the Peck Cem further north. This concentration of cemeteries, including the Deason Cochran Cem and Green-Johnson Cem, suggests a long history of generational land ownership. The transition from river-bottom farming to the aviation era is represented by the Barnes Farm Airport located near Mullikin Junction.
