2016 Map of Calvert City

About this map

Calvert City and the neighboring community of Gilbertsville sit at a strategic bend where the Tennessee River flows toward its confluence with the Ohio River Pool. This 2016 survey highlights a landscape defined by water management and transit, featuring the northern reaches of Kentucky Lake and the complex drainage of Cypress Cr and Little Cypress Cr. The area maintains its agricultural and rural character north of the river in settlements like Newbern, where family history is preserved in numerous small burial grounds including Chappell Cem, Wells Cem, and Driskill Cem. Industrial and transport infrastructure is prominent, anchored by the P & L RR corridor and the Kentucky Dam State Park Airport. The map also captures several distinctive natural features like Clear Pond, Open Pond, and the branching waters of Sanders Br Richland Cr, providing a detailed look at the Marshall and Livingston County borderlands in the early 21st century.
