About this map

Calvert City and the surrounding riverfront communities define this area where the Ohio River and Tennessee River converge. This landscape is a patchwork of lowland sloughs and higher ridges, featuring the Kincaid Mounds near the Illinois border and the prominent Saunders Ridge to the south. The convergence of these major waterways shaped a region of intricate drainage systems, including Beaverdam Slough and Little Cypress Cr.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the settlement at Possum Trot to numerous family and community burial grounds such as Bellamy Cem, Hurley Cem, and Howards Grove Cem. The map captures the industrial and agricultural character of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, documenting the road networks that link established towns like Little Cypress and Ledbetter across the Tennessee Valley Divide.
