2016 Map of Caledonia

About this map

Caledonia sits at the heart of this Western Kentucky landscape, where the boundary between Trigg Co and Christian Co divides a region defined by its springs and creek branches. The area is dense with family-named landmarks and local burial sites, such as the Thomas Cem, Bacon Cem, and the Old Presbyterian Cem near Newstead. The drainage of the Little River and Sinking Fork carves through the terrain, punctuated by distinctive features like Taylor Bluff and the deep Boatwright Hole. Local industry and rural gathering points are evident at Binns Mill in the southern portion near Peedee. This survey highlights the distribution of small communities like Julien and the swampy bottoms of McGaughey Swamp, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local water sources and the transition between agricultural fields and karst-like topography.
