About this map

Kentucky Dam anchors the southeastern landscape of this Marshall County quadrangle, where the massive engineering project creates the northern terminus of Kentucky Lake. The river-dependent economy and geography are evident in the historical infrastructure along the Tennessee River, featuring Haddox Ferry and several water-access points such as Cooper Landing and Stanley Landing. Industrial and civic growth are centered around Calvert City and Gilbertsville, with transportation routes like Airport Rd leading to the Kentucky Dam State Park Airport.

Genealogists and local historians can find a high density of family burial sites throughout the rural areas, including Wells Cemetery, Chappell Cemetery, and Driskill Cemetery. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways feeding the main river, including Cypress Creek, Sugar Creek, and Little Cypress Creek. The presence of the Kentucky Dam Tree Nursery near Old Beaver Dam Slough further reflects the varied land use managed near the reservoir.
