About this map

Celina stands at the confluence of the Obey River and the Cumberland River, serving as a focal point for this 1968 survey of Clay County. The landscape is defined by the significant presence of the Cordell Hull Reservoir, which follows the winding river valley. To the west, the topography rises into a complex network of ridges and hollows, where small settlements like Moss, Richville, and Midway are connected by winding country roads and dotted with local landmarks such as Macedonia Ch and New Hope Ch.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of family names preserved through features like Mabry Cem, Meadows Cem, and McColgan Cem. The map also captures the local industrial footprint of the era, including several Oil Well sites scattered near the Tennessee-Kentucky border and a Quarry situated along Proctor Creek. This period reveals a community balanced between its traditional rural roots and the modernization brought by the reservoir project.
