About this map

Saint Johns and Melber anchor this western Kentucky landscape, where a dense network of local roads connects scattered farmsteads and rural communities. The area is defined by its numerous small burial grounds and family-named landmarks, such as Tittsworth Cem, Haynes Cem, and Purchase Cem, which provide significant data for genealogists tracing early residents. The terrain is drained by several meandering waterways, including Massac Cr and Mayfield Cr, which cut through the agricultural acreage.

To the south, the map details the small settlements of Kansas and Folsomdale, showing the transition of the countryside into the modern era. The concentration of cemeteries like Woodlawn Memorial Gardens Cem and Straub Cem alongside contemporary thoroughfares like Hodge Rd illustrates how the historical footprint of these McCracken County communities persists amidst ongoing development and land use.
