2016 Map of Water Valley

About this map

Water Valley and the community of Feliciana sit at the heart of this agricultural landscape in western Kentucky. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Bayou de Chien and its tributaries, including Jackson Cr and the S Fork Bayou de Chien, which drain the low-lying bottoms. High-speed travel via the Purchase Pkwy bisects the region, cutting a modern path through older rural networks like State Hwy 2571. To the south, the map reaches the outskirts of Fulton and South Fulton at the Tennessee state line. Family and community heritage is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous burial sites including Camp Beauregard Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and the Wesley Cem. The proximity of Stephens Lake and several small creeks suggests a landscape where water management and drainage have long shaped land use and local settlement patterns.
