About this map

Murray serves as the focal point of this 2016 Calloway County survey, showcasing the modern footprint of the Murray State Univ campus and the surrounding residential growth. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including the Clarks River and its various branches, which historically shaped the settlement patterns of this western Kentucky region. To the north, the neighborhood of Five Points marks a key junction, while the southern edge of the map reaches the Tennessee border at Hazel.

Smaller rural hubs like Bakers Crossroads and Midway highlight the transition from the city's concentrated grid to an agricultural layout. Genealogists can find several family and community burial grounds, such as England Cem and Forrester Cem, tucked away near the Middle Fork Clarks River. The presence of the Brandon Airdrome and various road networks like Jones Sparkman Rd reflect the area's continued role as a regional transport and education center.
