About this map

Clarks River and its meandering tributaries, including Rockhouse Creek and Wades Creek, define the topography of this Calloway County landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map centers on the small communities of Dexter, Almo, and Almo Heights, illustrating a rural network of farm-to-market roads and established homesteads. Notable family and historical landmarks include Stewart Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in the area between Wadesboro and Penny.

Aviation and memory are represented by Kyle-Oakley Field and Murray Memorial Gardens, located in the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The road network remains heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of the river system, with routes like Old Hickory Rd and Hickory Grove Church Rd skirting the wetlands. This record captures the transition of western Kentucky's rural reaches, maintaining its agricultural character even as localized developments such as Almo Heights emerged.
