2019 Map of Celina

About this map

The Cumberland River and Obey River converge near the town of Celina, anchoring a landscape of deep valleys and prominent ridges along the Kentucky-Tennessee border. This survey documents the rural character of Clay County, where small settlements like Moss, Arcott, and Richville are connected by a network of winding ridge roads and creek-bottom lanes. The confluence area is marked by distinctive river features such as Celina Bar and the Henry Horton Bridge, which serves as a vital crossing point. Throughout the upland reaches, numerous family and community burial grounds, including Odle Cem, Stone Cem, and Plumlee Cem, are situated on higher ground above the drainages of Proctor Cr and Knob Cr. The mapping of places like Weaver Bottom and Stones Bottom illustrates the historical importance of fertile riverside flats in an otherwise dissected terrain of hollows and bluffs.
