1974 Map of Caledonia

About this map

Subterranean waterways and family-named springs define the geography along the border of Trigg and Christian counties. The landscape is characterized by the Sinking Fork and various springs like Coon Cave Spring and Garnett Spring, suggesting a karst environment where water frequently disappears underground. This 1974 revision captures the rural connectivity between small agricultural hubs such as Caledonia and Peedee. The distribution of family cemeteries, including the Stewart Cem, Bacon Cem, and Nance Cem, provides a detailed record of the local homesteads and families that shaped these creek-side communities. Prominent landmarks such as Binns Mill and the Old Presbyterian Cem near Newstead mark the cultural and industrial centers of the era.
