About this map

Saint Johns and Melber sit along the dividing line of the McCracken and Graves County border, where the terrain is shaped by the Tennessee Valley Divide. This rural landscape is defined by the winding course of Mayfield Creek and its many tributaries, including Middle Fork Massac Creek and Massac Creek. The region's history is deeply rooted in its small crossroads communities and family burial grounds, such as the Diggs Chapel - Kansas Cemetery near the settlement of Kansas.

Transport patterns are dictated by north-south routes like Mayfield Road and the cross-county Lovelaceville Florence Station Road. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed in its naming of small cemeteries, ranging from the Houser Grove Church of Christ Cemetery to smaller family plots like the Tittsworth Cemetery and Allcock Cemetery. The eastern edge features Boaz and Folsomdale, marking the transition into the broader agricultural plains of Western Kentucky.
