About this map

Pilot Oak and the settlement of Cuba anchor this landscape along the border of Graves and Weakley Counties, where the rolling terrain of western Kentucky meets northern Tennessee. The area is defined by its deep genealogical roots, evidenced by numerous family burial grounds including Thompson Cem, Adams Cem, and Old Bethlehem Cem. These sites are linked by a dense network of local roads such as Waggoner Bottom Rd and Poyners Chapel Rd, which navigate the headwaters of the regional drainage system.

Water plays a critical role in the geography here, with Bayou de Chien flowing westward while Blackamore Cr and Obion Cr carve through the southern and northern reaches. The survey captures the rural character of the Jackson Purchase region in the early 21st century, documenting the persistent placement of farmsteads and the preservation of historic cemetery locations like Pinegar Cem near the state line.
