About this map

Kentucky Lake defines the eastern shoreline of this Calloway County landscape, where the Blood River meets the larger reservoir near the community of New Concord. This 2016 survey illustrates a rural region marked by numerous small-family cemeteries and distinct topographical features such as Devils Pulpit and Culpepper Hollow. The settlement pattern centers around historic crossroads like Pottertown and New Providence, connected by a network of local roads that navigate the intricate drainage systems of Panther Cr, Wildcat Cr, and Lax Cr.

Genealogists can find significant value in the precise locations of burial grounds, including the Barnett Cem, Hicks Cem, and Stubblefield Cem, which are tucked away in the wooded reaches above the Blood River Bottoms. The map also reveals the modern residential development along the lakefront, seen in the dense street naming of Wildcat Beach Rd and Riverview Blvd, contrasting with the more dispersed agricultural tracts to the west.
