2016 Map of Hamlin

About this map

Fort Heiman and the northern reaches of Fort Donelson National Battlefield anchor the southern landscape of this 2016 survey, where the Tennessee River and Kentucky Lake define the border between Kentucky and Tennessee. The map illustrates a region heavily shaped by federal management and historic preservation, with the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area occupying the eastern peninsula. Numerous small family cemeteries like McCuiston Cem, Vinson Cem, and Ferguson Cem are scattered across the hills, offering a valuable record for genealogists researching the settlement patterns of Calloway and Stewart counties. The settlement of Hamlin sits at a crossroads west of the lake, surrounded by a complex system of inlets and creeks including Blood River and Yellow Spring Br. This modern survey provides a clear look at the contemporary road network, including Winchester Cemetery Rd and Riverside Dr, while preserving the locations of Civil War-era sites like Fort Henry.
