About this map

Paducah and its western suburbs define this 2019 survey, showing the density of growth along the Ohio River corridor. The geography is characterized by the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the northern drainages like Crooked Cr and Perkins Cr from the southern reaches of Massac Cr and Champion Cr. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies numerous burial grounds including Mount Kenton Cem, Saint Matthews Cem, and Temple Israel Cem.

Transit patterns are well-established here, with the Paducah & Illinois RR and the Irvin S Cobb Bridge providing critical links across the state line to Brookport. Established neighborhoods and settlements like Lone Oak, Hendron, and Avondale Heights show the suburban expansion of the county seat, while smaller locales such as Massac and Cecil maintain their distinct placement in the landscape. These contemporary data points offer a detailed inventory of the region's current social and physical infrastructure.
