About this map

Lake Barkley dominates the landscape of this borderland, where the waters of the Cumberland River valley meet the rugged hills of Trigg County, Kentucky, and Stewart County, Tennessee. The settlement of Linton sits near the crossing of Big Hurricane Cr and Little Hurricane Cr, serving as a central point for a region defined by its numerous coves and hollows. Further south, the community of Tobaccoport reflects the historic agricultural roots of the area near the state line.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Shaw Cem, Champion Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The intricate shoreline created by the impoundment of the lake is punctuated by named features such as Crockett Bay, Pryor Bay, and Fords Bay. The presence of The Trace provides a significant corridor through the western portion of the map, cutting past Fox Ridge toward the wooded interior of the Land Between the Lakes region.
