2010 Map of Kirksey

About this map

The West Fork Clarks River meanders through this agricultural landscape in Calloway County, anchoring a network of rural settlements and family cemeteries. Small community hubs like Coldwater, Kirksey, Stella, and Golo are connected by a grid of county roads, many bearing the names of local families who established themselves in the region. The map reveals an extensive genealogical record through its many burial sites, ranging from the Mount Zion Cemetery and Asbury Cemetery to smaller family plots such as the Bean Cemetery and Wyatt Cemetery. Tributaries like Damon Creek and Darnell Creek cut through the terrain, illustrating the traditional drainage patterns that have dictated local land use for generations. The abundance of named cemeteries and family-linked landmarks makes this a primary resource for tracing the 20th-century history of south-central Kentucky.
