2019 Map of Dawson Springs SW

About this map

Lake Beshear dominates the northern landscape of this region, where the winding waters meet the steep terrain of Copeland Bluff and Pine Knob. This 2019 survey documents the rural boundary where Caldwell County and Christian County meet, characterized by a series of prominent ridges such as Lisanby Ridge and Fowler Ridge. The settlement patterns here are deeply rooted in the land's topography, with small communities like Hawkins and Ruth connected by a network of local roads that follow the valleys and creek beds. Numerous family burial sites, including Vanhooser Cem, Rodgers Cem, and Newson Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital records for genealogical research. The presence of Pennyrile Forest State Park Rd and associated recreation labels like Golf Course Rd and Bath House Loop indicates the intersection of state-managed conservation and local tourism near the waterways of Clifty Cr and Wallace Fork.
