About this map

Westplains and Clear Springs anchor this portion of Graves County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of the West Fork Clarks River. The terrain features several significant drainage patterns, including Trace Creek, Panther Creek, and the curiously named Pull Tight Branch. Local history is visible in landmarks like the Sand Hill Cemetery and the Old Casey Bridge crossing, which sits near the fertile Casey Bottoms.

Modern infrastructure, such as the Mayfield Graves County Airport and the Purchase Pkwy, cuts across older rural networks like Old Mayfield Rd and Tobacco Rd. These roads connect small centers like Hicksville to the surrounding farmland. The geography shows a transition from structured transit corridors to the low-lying wetlands of Mayfield Creek and the Wildlife Reserve Rd area, illustrating how the region's transport and aviation needs developed alongside its traditional water-bound boundaries.
