About this map

Corydon and Poole anchor the northern and southern reaches of this landscape, which spans the junctions of Henderson, Union, and Webster Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of winding watercourses, including Beaverdam Cr, Whitelick Cr, and Camp Cr, which carve through the rural countryside. Small hamlets such as Dixie, Cairo, and Jonesburg are connected by a web of local roads named for prominent families and local landmarks, such as Tapp-Duncan Rd and Hughes-Sights Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous rural burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle. Significant sites include Tapp Cem, Thornberry Cem, and Shady Grove Cem, many located near historic crossroads or along the ridges overlooking the creeks. The presence of Tunnel Hill and Rock Springs further illustrates the varied topography and early points of local importance within these Western Kentucky communities.
