2019 Map of Linton

About this map

Lake Barkley dominates this landscape along the border of Trigg County, Kentucky, and Stewart County, Tennessee. The modern impoundment creates a complex shoreline of inlets and bays, such as Pryor Bay and Crockett Bay, while the surrounding terrain is defined by ridges like Fox Ridge and the S Bison Range. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, including Kingins Cem, Jimerson Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for researchers of the borderlands. The settlement at Linton sits at the junction of Linton Rd and several creek drainages, while Tobaccoport is located further south near Pinner Spring Br. An unusual naming pattern for forest roads in the western portion utilizes figures from Western lore, with labels for Jesse James, Frank James, John Wayne, and Roy Rogers.
