About this map

The Tennessee River winds through the heart of this landscape, separating the communities of Gilbertsville and Calvert City from the rural uplands to the north. This region is defined by its transition from the wide waters of Kentucky Lake and the managed flow below the dam to the intricate network of creeks like Cypress Cr and Hickory Cr. The map reveals a dense distribution of family burial grounds, including the Ramage Cem, Wells Cem, and Driskill Cem, which are invaluable for genealogists tracing local lineage in Marshall and Livingston counties.

Infrastructure around Calvert City highlights the area's industrial character, with the Calvert City PO serving as a central hub. To the north, the small settlement of Newbern is surrounded by a rugged drainage system where Guess Cr and Gum Spring Br carve into the terrain. The presence of the Kentucky Dam State Park Airport near the river's bend underscores the region's importance for both recreation and transportation in the modern era.
