About this map

Jonathan Creek and its many tributaries, including Hopkins Branch and Crisp Branch, define the agricultural landscape of this Calloway County region. Small agricultural settlements like Shiloh and Faxon serve as focal points for a network of country roads, many named after the family cemeteries they lead to, such as Curd Cemetery Rd and Holland Cemetery Rd. The southeastern corner is dominated by the shoreline of Kentucky Lake, where the Irvin Cobb Resort and Buzzard Roost mark the transition from rural farming to a lakefront economy. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial sites, from the Jeffrey Cemetery to the Bonner Cemetery, often tucked away near stream forks or at the end of private lanes like McDay Ln.
