1977 Map of Clinton

About this map

The town of Clinton serves as the focal point of this western Kentucky landscape, situated along the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line. The settlement pattern here is defined by small rural clusters and family landmarks, with New Cypress and Old Cypress to the north and several country churches anchoring the community. The topography is shaped by the winding course of Cane Creek and the southern marshlands of Bayou de Chien, where a Gaging Station monitors the water flow. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds like McWhort Cem and Vivrett Cem, alongside several houses of worship including Mt Moriah Ch and Trinity Chapel. The presence of a Lookout Tower and various substations reflects the mid-century infrastructure supporting this agrarian region.
