About this map

The rolling landscape of eastern Calloway County, Kentucky, is defined by the convergence of agricultural tradition and the expansive waters of Kentucky Lake. In this interior region, small settlements like Hico, Shiloh, and Faxon serve as focal points for a network of rural roads such as Palestine Church Rd and Green Valley Rd. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses, including Jonathan Cr and its tributaries Little Jonathan Cr and Burr Br, which carve through the land toward the larger reservoir.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as Ross Cem, Barnett Cem, and Russell Chapel Cem. The southeastern corner of the map features the Irvin Cobb Resort, highlighting the area's transition into a recreational hub along the lake. Other distinctive landmarks like Buzzard Roost provide geographic context to a region shaped by both its local cemeteries and the significant presence of the state's largest artificial lake.
