1951 Map of Kirksey

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Clarks River West Fork snakes through this landscape, dividing the rolling terrain of Calloway and Graves Counties. The area is defined by its small agricultural communities and rural infrastructure, from the hilltop village of Kirksey to the historic crossing at Backusburg. The map reveals a dense network of family history markers, including Mt Carmel Church & Cem and dozens of private burial grounds like Collie Cem and Yandell Cem. Industrial remnants such as the Clay Pits near the Marshall County line hint at earlier resource extraction, while the Kirksey Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the woodland revisions. This mid-century document captures the region after the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Divide, preserving the locations of country schools and churches like Mt Hebron Church and Goshen Ch before further modernization changed the rural character.
