2019 Map of Sacramento

About this map

Sacramento serves as the focal point of this western Kentucky landscape, where the borders of McLean, Hopkins, and Muhlenberg counties converge. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Pond River, which meanders through the western half of the territory, crossed at key intervals by Brazzel Bridge and Coffman Bridge. This area exhibits a pattern of rural settlement organized along ridges and creek valleys, such as Poplar Grove to the north. Local heritage is preserved in sites like Free Union Cem and Moore Cem, while the region's small-scale aviation history is noted at Woosley Airport and Shannon Field. A complex network of drainage, including Cypress Creek and Pond Drain, illustrates the wet, alluvial nature of the bottomlands surrounding the primary river channel.
