About this map

The town of Cadiz serves as the focal point of this late 1960s study, situated at the bend where the Little River meets the expansive waters of Lake Barkley. This survey captures the transition of the local landscape following the impoundment of the Cumberland River, showing the town's edge defined by the Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal facilities near the modern waterfront. The Cadiz RR line cuts eastward through the terrain toward Kings Chapel, marking the persistence of rail infrastructure in an era increasingly dominated by state routes like KY 68 and KY 80.

Away from the central hub, the map reveals a dense network of country churches and rural landmarks vital for genealogical research. Communities such as Liberty Point and Stillhouse are charted alongside spiritual centers like St Stephens Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and Pleasant Hill Ch. The complex drainage patterns of Caney Creek and Sinking Fork define the topography, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns of Trigg County.
