2022 Map of Milburn

About this map

Milburn and the southern edge of Bardwell anchor this West Kentucky landscape, where the terrain is defined by the headwaters and winding channels of Obion Cr and West Fork Mayfield Creek. This area in Carlisle and Hickman Counties is characterized by a high density of rural burial sites and small community churches, such as the Williams Chapel Methodist Cem and the Milburn Baptist Graveyard. The mapping reveals a complex network of county roads, including Co Rd 1101 and Co Rd 1120, that follow the ridgelines between numerous small drainages like Horn Cr, Guess Cr, and Hurricane Cr. The prevalence of family-named cemeteries such as Holder Cem, Sanford Cem, and Elsey Cem provides a significant resource for genealogical research, documenting the legacy of early settlements in the Jackson Purchase region.
