2013 Map of Linton

About this map

The expansive waters of Lake Barkley dominate this 2013 survey of the Kentucky-Tennessee border, where the flooded Cumberland River valley creates a complex network of bays and inlets. The settlement of Linton sits on the eastern shore near the mouth of Little Hurricane Cr, while the community of Tobaccoport is situated further south along the shoreline. This geography is defined by its numerous family burial grounds, including the Mt Vernon Cem, Wiggins Cem, and Champion Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in Trigg and Stewart counties. Extensive water features like Pryor Bay, Fords Bay, and Donaldson Cr illustrate the dramatic transformation of the landscape following the impoundment of the river. Inland, the terrain rises toward Fox Ridge and specialized landmarks like Williams Hollow, with the small crossroads of Model appearing in the southwestern portion of the sheet.
