2013 Map of Palmer

About this map

The Kentucky River and Red River converge in a landscape defined by dramatic meanders and ridges, anchoring the rural communities of Palmer and Clarksville. This 2013 survey illustrates a region where transportation and settlement patterns are dictated by the winding water, evidenced by named reaches like Maupin Bend and the sharp spur of Devils Backbone. The topography rises from the riverbanks toward local heights such as Iron Mountain and Iron Mound, while the interior is dotted with established locales including Alexander School Neighborhood and Vianna. Researchers can trace the network of country roads, such as King Cemetery Rd and Ferry Rd, which connect historically significant crossing points like Cobb Ferry. The presence of the Alexander School Neighborhood suggests a community structure built around early educational centers, now preserved alongside modern developments like Hillsboro Heights.
