About this map

Kentucky Lake defines the southeastern corner of this landscape, where the Irvin Cobb Resort meets the shoreline at the mouth of Brush Cr. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys, including Jonathan Cr and Sugar Cr, which have historically shaped the settlement patterns of eastern Calloway County. Small rural communities like Hico, Shiloh, and Faxon serve as anchors for the surrounding agricultural lands.

The area is exceptionally rich in genealogical landmarks, with dozens of family and community burial grounds scattered across the ridges. Notable sites include the Sugar Creek Baptist Church Cem, the Scott Family Cem, and Sage Hill Cem. From the high point at Buzzard Roost to the various stream branches like Hopkins Br and Ledbetter Cr, the map preserves a detailed view of the local road network and land divisions that have persisted through generations.
