About this map

Moscow, Cayce, and Jordan anchor this western Kentucky landscape, where the state line meets Tennessee and the borders of Hickman, Fulton, and Obion counties converge. The terrain is defined by the complex hydrology of the Mississippi embayment, featuring the winding Bayou de Chien and its tributary, the Little Bayou de Chien. Notable water bodies like Halfmoon Pond and Cornwall Pond dot the lowlands, while Rush Creek and Mud Creek drain the surrounding agricultural fields.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and burial sites across the quadrangle. Small family cemeteries, including Roper Cem, McGee Cem, Johnson Cem, Alexander Cem, and Bacon Cem, are scattered along the rural road network. The map also documents local infrastructure such as Alexander Field, providing a clear record of land use and property boundaries in this tri-county border region during the mid-2010s.
