About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through this rural landscape in southwestern Calloway County, marking the high ground between distinct drainage basins. The small community of Lynn Grove sits at a central crossroads, surrounded by smaller settlements like Wiswell, Harris Grove, and Protemus. The area is characterized by a dense network of country lanes such as Burnetts Chapel Rd and Beech Grove Rd, which connect numerous family-named burial sites that speak to the region's deep genealogical roots.

Waterways define the lower elevations, including the W Fork Clarks River, Middle Fork Clarks River, and Mayfield Cr. Local history and family lineages are well-preserved in the landscape through sites like Brush Island Cem, Lassiter Cem, and Jetton Cem. This modern survey records the persistent agricultural and residential patterns that have defined this border region between Kentucky and Tennessee for generations.
