About this map

The Trigg Co Christian Co boundary bisects this western Kentucky landscape, where karst features like Cool Cave Spring and Sinking Fork define the local drainage. Small rural communities such as Caledonia and Peedee are interconnected by a dense network of country roads, including the Old Hopkinsville Rd and Newstead Rd. The map is particularly dense with family-named burial grounds and historical markers, such as the Alfred Thomas Cem and Nance Family Cem, which reflect generations of settlement near the meandering path of the Little River.

Deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions of the Pennyrile region, the area around Binns Mill and Newstead retains its dispersed settlement pattern. Notable landmarks like Boatwright Hole and the marshes of McGaughey Swamp suggest a varied terrain of limestone bluffs and bottomlands. This survey provides a precise look at the land use and property divisions before modern development, preserving the locations of sites like the Old Presbyterian Cem and Torian Springs.
