2019 Map of Cobb

About this map

Muddy Fork Little River meanders across this landscape, defining the rural character of northern Trigg Co and southern Caldwell County. The small communities of Cobb, Hopson, and Wallonia serve as historic anchors in a terrain dominated by agricultural reaches and scattered family burial grounds. Numerous family-named cemeteries, including Larkins Cem, Hanberry Cem, and Merrick Cem, provide valuable landmarks for genealogists tracing local lineage in this corner of Kentucky. In the southwest, the topography gives way to the modern shoreline of Lake Barkley, where the Little River enters the impoundment near Cadiz. The network of local roads such as Hopson Store Rd and Wall Cemetery Rd connects these longstanding settlements, reflecting a distribution of homesteads that has remained relatively consistent over decades.
