2016 Map of Shady Grove

About this map

Shady Grove and Tribune anchor this 2016 topographical survey of the borderlands between Crittenden and Caldwell counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and drainage basins, where named landmarks like Buzzard Roost Bluff and Gibralter overlook the winding courses of Piney Cr and Little Piney Cr. The map preserves the rural character of western Kentucky through its many family-named cemeteries and hollows, reflecting a long-established settlement pattern that persists into the 21st century.
