2013 Map of Calvert City

About this map

Calvert City occupies the south bank of the Tennessee River in this 2013 survey, situated where industrial infrastructure meets the wide waters of western Kentucky. The map documents a landscape defined by the river’s historical crossings and landings, such as Haddox Ferry, Cooper Landing, and Stanley Landing. To the southeast, the massive engineering of the Kentucky Lake reservoir is visible, featuring the Kentucky Dam Boat Basin and the Kentucky Dam State Park Airport near the community of Gilbertsville. North of the river, the terrain transitions into a dense network of rural roads and family-named landmarks. Numerous burial grounds, including Chappell Cem, Wells Cem, and Ramage Cem, are scattered throughout the hills near Newbern. The drainage patterns of Cypress Creek and its many tributaries, like Little Cypress Cr, reveal the low-lying wetlands and sloughs that characterize the region just downstream from the dam.
