2016 Map of Kirksey

About this map

W Fork Clarks River meanders through the heart of this landscape, anchoring a rural network of small communities and family burial grounds along the Graves and Calloway county line. The settlement pattern is defined by historic crossroads like Coldwater, Backusburg, and Kirksey, where local life centered around remote churches and cemeteries. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks including the Wyatt Cem, Collie Cem, and Bazzell Cem. The terrain is shaped by numerous tributaries such as Damon Cr, Wades Cr, and Hargrove Br, which cut through the agricultural land. In the western portion of the map, the small community of Golo sits near the Mount Olive Church, while the eastern reaches include the more modern aviation footprint of Kyle Oakley Field.
