1970 Map of Cayce

About this map

Cayce and Moscow anchor this West Kentucky landscape as it appeared in 1970, situated along the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad line. This survey captures a rural environment defined by the meandering course of Bayou de Chien and its various wetland features, such as Halfmoon Pond and Cornwall Pond. The map provides significant genealogical value, documenting numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries including Roper Cem, McGee Cem, and Bacon Cem. The southern edge of the sheet documents the Kentucky Tennessee border, showing the proximity of Woodland Mills and Jordan to the State Line. Settlement patterns follow the elevated ground between drainage systems like Samson Creek and Rush Creek, with local social centers marked by country churches such as Rush Creek Ch and Mt Hermon Ch.
