About this map

Eddyville and the surrounding Lyon County landscape are defined by the expansive waters of Lake Barkley, formed by the impoundment of the Cumberland River. This 2013 survey reveals a complex shoreline of deep bays and inlets, including Eddy Bay, Clay Bay, and Davenport Bay. The map documents the residential and recreational development along the water, from established neighborhoods like Indian Hills and Greenacres to the marina facilities at Sky Pilot Harbor.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Rolling Hills Cem, Lady Cem, and Providence Cem, which anchor the modern landscape to its rural past. The terrain transitions from the water's edge into the interior through several named valleys like Bell Hollow and Tinsley Hollow, while numerous springs, including Cantrell Spring and Gum Spring, highlight the region's underlying karst topography. The transport network shows a mix of local routes and the modern corridor of the Western Kentucky Parkway.
