2011 Map of Linton

About this map

Lake Barkley dominates this landscape, its waters having transformed the Cumberland River valley into a complex network of bays and inlets along the Kentucky-Tennessee border. Small settlements like Linton and Tobaccoport remain as quiet outposts on the eastern shore, while Model sits to the west. The map is particularly notable for its dense concentration of family burial grounds, reflecting the deep ancestral roots of Trigg County. Scattered across the wooded terrain are the Jimerson Cemetery, Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Outland Cemetery, and Cherry Cemetery, among many others. To the west of the main channel, Fox Ridge and various hollows like Williams Hollow break up the land between numerous creek branches such as Pryor Creek and Crockett Creek, illustrating the topography that once defined this riverine community before the reservoir was filled.
