2022 Map of Princeton West

About this map

Princeton serves as the focal point of this western Kentucky landscape, anchored by the Caldwell County Courthouse and the historic Cumberland College Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Eddy Creek and its many tributaries, such as Wallace Br and Dry Creek, which flow toward the broad waters of Lake Barkley in the southwest corner. The map reveals a dense network of family and community landmarks, including numerous small burial grounds like the Robert Gray Cem and Sebron - Kilgore Cem, reflecting generations of settlement near Saratoga and Dulaney. Natural springs, such as Harpending Springs and Hayes Spring, likely served as vital early water sources for these rural communities before the modern road system connected the county seat to outlying ridges like Hopewell Hill.
